About this map

Lake Ray Hubbard dominates the eastern and southern portions of this landscape, its expansive shoreline defining the residential development of suburban Dallas. The map captures a high-density network of modern thoroughfares like the President George Bush Tpke W and President George Bush Tpke E as they interface with established local communities. Traces of the area's rural past remain visible through a significant concentration of burial grounds, including Cottonwood Cem, Pleasant Valley Cem, and McShan Cem.

Named settlements such as Liberty Grove, Pleasant Valley, and Dalrock show the transition from small hamlets to integrated suburban neighborhoods. Waterways like Rowlett Cr, Muddy Cr, and Maxwell Cr provide the natural drainage infrastructure that pre-dates the massive reservoir. This survey documents the complex balance between rapid infrastructure expansion and the preservation of local heritage sites during the early 21st century.
