About this map

Mountain Springs and its surrounding residential additions define the lower half of this landscape, showing a pattern of modern residential growth north of the more established regional corridors. The map records several named additions such as Woodlawn Addition, McDermott Addition, and Bailey Addition, illustrating how the area has transitioned into a series of interconnected suburban pockets. Despite this development, the terrain remains deeply marked by its rural past and the natural drainages of the Cypress Bayou and Little Cypress Creek systems.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites preserved across these sections, ranging from the Mountain Springs Cemetery near the heart of the settlement to the Sixteenth Section Cemetery and Grizzard Cemetery further north. Distinctive landforms like Round Mountain and Haymes Hill provide clear reference points between the smaller communities of El Paso and Opal, while various water management features like Catfish Lake and Indian Head Lake highlight the importance of local hydrology in shaping the modern footprint of the area.
