About this map

Lavon Lake dominates the eastern horizon of this 2010 survey, illustrating the sophisticated water management and suburban expansion north of Dallas. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of White Rock Creek and Muddy Creek, which feed into the large reservoir via numerous branches such as Turner Branch and Rush Creek. Local infrastructure is marked by several significant dams, including the Sies Lagos Number 5 Dam and the Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Dam, which have reshaped the hydrology to support the growing residential communities of Lucas and Wylie.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its preservation of historic burial grounds amidst modern development. Sites like the Fitzhugh Cemetery near Forest Grove and the McMillan Cemetery in the west provide tangible links to the area's early settlement era. The map also traces the transition from rural crossroads like Winningkoff and Branch to more densely populated residential hubs like Murphy and Saint Paul.
