About this map

Lavon Lake dominates this northeast Texas landscape, its expansive shoreline dotted with residential developments like Lavon Shores Estates, Yucote Acres, and Deep Water Point Estates. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of recreational water access and suburban growth in Collin and Dallas counties. Established towns such as Farmersville, Copeville, and Nevada border the reservoir, while the southern reaches show the East Fork Trinity River winding toward Corder Lake and Moores Lake.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial grounds preserved in this modern survey, including Backbone Cem to the north and Pleasant Hill Cem near the eastern edge. Local transportation and utility are represented by small aviation facilities like Lazy Dog Ranch Airpark and Twisted JS Airport, alongside major thoroughfares such as FM 982. The drainage network, featuring Pilot Grove Cr and Elm Cr, provides a clear view of the natural hydrology that shaped the region before and after the reservoir's creation.
