2019 Map of Myrtle Springs

About this map

Myrtle Springs anchors this portion of Van Zandt County, situated north of the growing community of Canton. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of Caney Cr and the dual branches of Dry Lacy Fork and Wet Lacy Fork. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural boundaries. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including the Wesley Chapel Cem in the west and the Haven of Memories Cem near the eastern margin. A notable modern landmark is Dennis's Flying Farm Airport, reflecting the region's adaptation of rural land for private aviation. The map also traces the small settlement of Wallace and numerous family-linked water features like Riley Spring, providing a detailed look at the rural road network and township structure at the end of the 2010s.
