About this map

The St Louis Southwestern railroad corridor defines the development of southern Collin County in this 1920s survey. Significant rural infrastructure is visible throughout the quadrant, including a high concentration of local educational sites like Winningkoff Sch, Morris Sch, and Parker Sch. The settlement of Wylie stands as a primary hub where the rail lines intersect, showcasing a grid of streets adjacent to the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe tracks.

Hydrological features like the East Fork Trinity River and White Rock Creek dictate the landscape's contours, with Club Lake providing a notable landmark near Branch. This sheet is unique for its large "Unsurveyed Area" in the north, reflecting the ongoing nature of the topographic work by the Board of Water Engineers during this era. Rural life is anchored by community points such as Clear Lake Ch and the dispersed farming communities of Forest Grove and Lucas.
