About this map

Seagoville and its surrounding communities in southeast Dallas County are captured here during a period of sustained suburban expansion. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major drainage systems, specifically where South Mesquite Creek and North Mesquite Creek meet the winding East Fork Trinity River. This interface of water and land is managed by a series of modern infrastructure projects, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Dam and several others that regulate local reservoirs.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous family and community burial grounds such as Frost Cemetery, Potter Cemetery, and Sand Branch Cemetery. The map also illustrates the footprint of significant regional institutions, most notably the Seagoville Federal Correctional Institution and the Phil L Hudson Municipal Airport. Residential growth in Balch Springs and Kleberg contrasts with the floodplains and sloughs that persist along the river's edge.
