About this map

Myrtle Springs and the surrounding Van Zandt County countryside are defined by a complex network of creeks and small reservoirs in this 2016 study. The landscape is marked by the presence of several established burial grounds, including the Wesley Chapel Cem, High Cem, and the Haven of Memories Cem near Canton. These locations, alongside the smaller settlement at Wallace, provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research and local history documentation.

A notable aviation landmark, Dennis's Flying Farm Airport, sits just south of Myrtle Springs, while the region's hydrology is dominated by numerous small water bodies such as Cotton Lake, Lipsey Lake, and several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs. The terrain is intricately carved by branches like Andy Br and Coppers Br, leading toward the larger channels of Caney Cr and Wet Lacy Fork, illustrating a rural Texas landscape that balances modern infrastructure with traditional agricultural and community sites.
