2022 Map of Pilot Grove

About this map

Pilot Grove Creek and its many branches form the central drainage system of this rural landscape, where the borders of Grayson, Fannin, and Collin counties converge. The area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Warden Cem, Luper Cem, and the Old Pilot Grove Cem, providing a rich resource for genealogical research. While settlements like Tom Bean, Whitewright, and Trenton anchor the periphery, the central portion of the map is defined by agricultural lands and several small aviation facilities such as Tilghman Airport and the Flying T Ranch Airport. The mapping of features like Whippoorwill Canyon and Knob Hill Road alongside established routes like FM 2729 illustrates a persistent pattern of rural development that respects the underlying creek-cut topography.
