1962 Map of Myrtle Springs

About this map

The community of Myrtle Springs sits at the intersection of local routes in this pocket of Van Zandt County during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Lacy Fork, Caney Creek, and Britton Creek, which drain the rolling terrain between Rock Hill and the town of Canton to the southeast. The map reveals a rural economy transitioning with the era, showing evidence of natural resource extraction through a Gas Well, Sandpit, and several borrow pits.
