1960 Map of McKinney East

About this map

The East Fork Trinity River winds through a landscape defined by small agrarian settlements and the eastern expansion of McKinney at the start of the 1960s. This survey captures a specific moment in Collin County history, where rural life revolved around established country churches like Dunn Memorial Ch and East Fork Ch. To the east, the rural communities of New Hope and Milligan are clearly defined, while the rising waters of the Lavon Reservoir begin to take shape in the southeast. Numerous quarries along the river and its tributaries, such as Wilson Creek, indicate the industrial extraction occurring alongside the traditional farming economy.
