Van Alstyne and Howe anchor this North Texas corridor along the S Collins Fwy US Hwy 75. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several prominent creek systems, including the Hurricane Creek and various prongs of Sister Grove Creek. Family and community history is etched across the terrain through numerous burial grounds such as Taylor Cemetary, Morris Cemetery, and the historic Mantua Cemetery near the southern boundary. To the north, Howe shows its grid near the E Prong Whites Creek, while the southern portion of the sheet reaches into the expanding footprint of Anna. Aviation history is noted by the presence of the J & W Windy Hill Airport, located just northwest of the central Van Alstyne settlement. This survey documents the intersection of rural heritage and modern transportation infrastructure as the region develops.
