2016 Map of Marilee

About this map

The borderlands of North Texas converge at Marilee, where the boundaries of Grayson, Denton, and Collin Counties meet. This landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several prominent regional waterways, including Little Elm Cr and its Walnut Fork, as well as Buck Cr and Mustang Cr. The land use is primarily agricultural and rural residential, punctuated by small reservoirs like Hunt Lake Number 1 and Hunt Lake Number 2. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Gunter Cem and family-named landmarks such as Bridges Field and Mc Manus Field. The road network, including historic routes like Stiff Chapel Rd and Old Tioga Rd, reflects the area's long-standing rural structure as suburban expansion begins to influence the edges of these traditional Texas farm and ranch lands.
