About this map

Lavon Lake dominates the western portion of this landscape, its indented shoreline giving rise to numerous residential developments such as Lavon Beach Estates, Lavon Shores Estates, and Deep Water Point Estates. The topography reflects a transition from the water's edge to the productive plains of eastern Collin County, where the historic settlements of Copeville, Lavon, and Nevada are situated. These communities are linked by a network of farm-to-market and county roads that navigate between various tributaries like Bear Creek and Elm Cr.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the area, including Backbone Cem, Thompson Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem near the southeast corner. The presence of the Lazy Dog Ranch Airpark near Copeville highlights the modern rural-residential character of the region. The map also captures the hydrological detail of the East Fork Trinity River and Pilot Grove Cr south of the primary reservoir, showing how water management has shaped the modern local geography.
