About this map

Josephine and the surrounding agricultural landscape of southeastern Collin County are meticulously documented in this 2013 survey. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads, including Co RD 643 and Co RD 2716, which connect scattered homesteads and small settlements like Nevada and Burrow. Waterways such as Sabine Cr and Brushy Cr provide the primary drainage for these rolling plains, while Cooks Lake serves as a prominent local landmark near the center of the sheet.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several historic burial grounds, including the McMinn Cem in the northwest and the Needmore Cem to the south. These sites, along with the Josephine Cem, provide essential data points for researchers tracing family heritage in this part of Texas. The settlement patterns shown here reflect a transition toward modern residential development while maintaining the grid-based rural structure established by generations of farming families.
