2022 Map of Myrtle Springs

About this map

The community of Myrtle Springs sits at the intersection of local history and modern transportation, defined by the winding paths of Caney Cr and the heavy line of the Interstate 20 service roads. This portion of Van Zandt County retains its rural character, anchored by small settlements like Wallace and the northwestern edge of Canton. Local genealogy is well-represented through several burial grounds, including Myrtle Springs Cem, Wesley Chapel Cem, and High Cem, which are scattered among the tributaries of Wet Lacy Fork and Dry Lacy Fork. Notable for its private aviation history, Dennis's Flying Farm Airport remains a distinct landmark north of the interstate. The landscape is a network of country roads such as Corky Boyd Ave and Holland Rd, which connect the family-named landmarks and creeks that have long defined this part of East Texas.
