About this map

McKinney and its western periphery show a landscape in rapid transition as suburban development meets agricultural history. The creek systems, including Wilson Creek and its many tributaries like Rutherford Branch and Franklin Branch, are punctuated by an extensive series of flood control structures managed by the Soil Conservation Service. These reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 3a Dam, serve as the anchors for modern residential planning, with winding street networks filling the gaps between traditional landholdings.

Legacy landmarks provide a window into the area's rural past, with several family-named burial grounds like Ware Cemetery, Hunt Cemetery, and Scott Cemetery still marking the terrain. The presence of both Aero Country Airport and Kittyhawk Airport highlights the importance of light aviation in this part of North Texas. Long-established communities such as Bloomdale and Buckner remain as vital points of reference amidst the expanding grid of arterial roads like Eldorado Pkwy and Virginia Pkwy.
