About this map

Weston and Chambersville anchor this northern Collin County landscape during a period of steady agricultural use and early water management. The terrain is defined by the winding East Fork Trinity River and its numerous tributaries, including Honey Creek and Wilson Creek. Several small community centers like Roland and Rhea Mills are visible, alongside scattered rural landmarks that speak to the area's pioneer heritage.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Mugg Cemetery, Corinth Cemetery, and Franklin Cemetery. Local worship is represented by the Cottage Hill Church. The 1961 field check also captures infrastructure of the era, including several spillways, risers, and a Gaging Station along the waterways, as well as a Quarry and various Gravel Pits indicating local extraction industries.
