About this map

Red Oak and Glenn Heights anchor this 2012 survey, illustrating the modern residential expansion south of Dallas. The landscape is defined by a dense network of suburban streets and major thoroughfares, most notably the central corridor of Interstate 35, which bisects the quadrangle. Interspersed among these developments are pockets of local heritage, including several small burial grounds such as Rawlins Cem, Red Oak Cem, and Vincent Cem.

A complex system of waterways, including Tenmile Creek, Red Oak Creek, and Bear Creek, snakes through the residential blocks, often serving as the primary green space and natural drainage for the surrounding communities. Near the eastern edge, Camp Pinkston provides a notable landmark amidst the suburban sprawl. The map also captures the distinct boundaries of Oak Leaf, showing how these smaller municipalities integrated into the broader regional growth pattern of the early 21st century.
