About this map

The Elm Fork Trinity River snakes through the western half of this 1920s survey, defining a landscape of riparian bottomlands and rising prairie before much of the region's modern suburban development. Near Lewisville, the rail infrastructure is particularly prominent, featuring the Missouri Kansas and Texas RR and the Dallas Denton and Texas Electric Co interurban line. This area shows a high density of rural educational landmarks, including Hackberry Sch, Lake Sch, and Willow Spring Sch, reflecting the distributed agricultural community of the era.

C.W. Goodlove's topography also details early river crossings such as the Wire Bridge and local transit corridors like Mc Kinney Road. The eastern portion of the sheet remains designated as an Unsurveyed Area, creating a sharp contrast between the documented homesteads near Rector and the open land to the east. Water features like Ritter Lake and Hickory Creek provide further points of reference for tracing family land and local geography in Collin and Denton Counties.
