2012 Map of Myrtle Springs

About this map

The community of Myrtle Springs anchors this Northeast Texas landscape, defined by a dense web of county roads and a complex drainage system within Van Zandt County. Interstate 20 bisects the northern half of the region, passing near the uniquely named Dennis's Flying Farm Airport. To the south, the settlement of Wallace sits amidst the meandering branches of the Dry Lacy Fork, while the outskirts of Canton appear in the southeast corner. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including the Wesley Chapel Cem and High Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of the area's rural heritage. The terrain is characterized by numerous small waterways like Caney Cr and Britton Cr, alongside local water features such as City Lake and Spring Lake. This network of creeks and springs suggests a long history of agricultural reliance on the natural watershed before modern infrastructure reshaped the local travel patterns.
