About this map

The St Louis San Francisco And Texas railroad cuts a north-south line through this Collin County landscape, anchoring the development of Frisco and Prosper. In the early 1960s, these towns remained distinct agricultural hubs separated by a network of family farms and creek drainages. Small rural centers like Rockhill and Good Hope are visible, each centered on local institutions such as the Rockhill Sch and Good Hope Ch.

Surface drainage is defined by the headwaters of White Rock Creek and Panther Creek, which flow through a terrain marked by scattered Gravel Pits and a Quarry. The mapping of fine red dashed lines reveals the extensive network of field boundaries and fences that characterized the pre-suburban era of North Texas. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of the Landrum Cem and Bethel Cem near the Bethel Ch, providing a clear record of early settlement patterns before the region's rapid expansion.
