1985 Map of McKinney

About this map

The East Fork Trinity River and its numerous tributaries, including Sister Grove Creek and Arnold Creek, define the drainage patterns of this North Texas landscape during the mid-1980s. This survey records a transition period for rural communities and smaller towns such as Westminster, Valdasta, and Blue Ridge. The geography is heavily influenced by a dense network of transit and industry, featuring multiple rail lines like the Southern Pacific RR and St Louis Southwestern RR, alongside several Gravel Pits and a Quarry indicating active local resource extraction. Prominent aviation landmarks such as the Caddo Mills Municipal Airport and Majors Airport serve as major navigational points. Smaller settlements like Frognot and Pilot Grove are documented alongside local landmarks such as Henslee Chapel, providing a detailed look at the region's development before the rapid expansion of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex changed these outlying areas.
