About this map

Agricultural lands at the intersection of Collin, Fannin, and Hunt Counties define this rural landscape as it appeared in the mid-twentieth century. The area is anchored by small, dispersed settlements like Pike, Frognot, and Nobility, which are connected by a network of local roads and farm-to-market routes. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system including Indian Creek, Bear Creek, and the curiously named Pot Rack Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Du Laney Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Fuller Cem. The map also indicates early industrial activity with several Quarries located in the northeast, while the presence of Arnold and Delba highlights the small-scale settlement patterns typical of North Texas before widespread urban expansion. Fine red lines across the sheet delineate selected fence and field lines, offering a rare look at property divisions during this era.
