About this map

Lake Lewisville dominates the central landscape of this North Texas survey, where fingers of water define the growth of modern suburban communities and preserve pockets of local heritage. The settlement of Little Elm sits at the heart of the region, surrounded by emerging residential developments such as Paloma Creek South, Providence Village, and Lakewood Village. Amidst this rapid expansion, several historical anchors remain visible, including the Little Elm Cem and Lloyd Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for researchers of the area’s earlier agrarian period.

The topography transitions from the low-lying basins of Jefferson Slough and Nix Slough to the prominent heights of Bishop Hill and Knob Hill. Specialized landmarks such as the Cottonpatch Aerodrome near Hackberry and the John House Springs further distinguish the character of the shorelines. This era is characterized by the conversion of open land into dense street networks, yet the map maintains the legacy of older corridors like Fishtrap Rd and the Highway 377 corridor.
