1961 Map of Weston

About this map

Weston and the surrounding blackland prairies of Collin County are captured here just as the post-war era began to reshape north Texas. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Honey Creek, which feeds a network of smaller tributaries like Howell Branch and Long Branch across the central terrain. Small rural communities such as Chambersville, Roland, and Rhea Mills anchor the corners of the sheet, reflecting a period of traditional agrarian settlement patterns. For those researching local family history, the map includes several historic burial grounds, including Corinth Cem, Wilson Cem, and Mugg Cem, along with the Cottage Hill Ch. A notable series of impoundments and spillways along the creeks indicates 1950s-era water management practices, while active Gravel Pits and a Quarry point to the local extractive industries supporting regional growth.
