About this map

The East Fork Trinity River winds through the heart of this North Texas landscape, separating the growing eastern edge of McKinney from the rural communities of New Hope and Lowry Crossing. Historically family-centric, the area is dotted with small burial grounds such as McLarry Cemetery, Johnson Cemetery, and Scalf Cemetery, reflecting the long-established agricultural settlements that preceded modern suburban expansion.

In the south, the terrain descends toward the marshes and open waters of Lavon Lake, while aviation facilities like McKinney Municipal Airport and Square Air Airport mark the region's transition into a regional transportation hub. Smaller watercourses like Ticky Creek and Wilson Creek feed into the Trinity watershed, defining the drainage patterns that shaped local land use before the development of residential corridors along FM 1827 and FM 2933.
