2013 Map of Van Alstyne

About this map

Van Alstyne and the northern outskirts of Anna serve as the primary hubs in this north Texas landscape, where the flat, fertile plains are defined by an intricate network of waterways. The terrain is bifurcated by the massive north-south corridor of S Collins Fwy, reflecting the modern expansion of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex toward the Oklahoma border. Beyond the highway, the land remains largely agricultural, drained by several forks including W Prong Whites Cr and Sister Grove Cr. Small, isolated landmarks like the J & W Windy Hill Airport suggest the transition from traditional farming to decentralized rural services. For those tracing family ties to the area, the map preserves the exact locations of local burial grounds such as Morris Cem and Cannon Cem, while the small settlement of Newport sits just south of the primary town center.
