2016 Map of Wylie

About this map

Lavon Lake dominates the eastern horizon of this Collin County landscape, a massive reservoir that reshaped the local geography alongside Muddy Cr Reservoir. The area is characterized by the expanding suburban footprints of Wylie, Murphy, and Sachse, yet it preserves significant traces of its earlier rural character through numerous family and community burial grounds. Genealogists can locate several historic sites including Fitzhugh Cem near Forest Grove, Saint Paul Cem, and McMillan Cem. The transition from old farmsteads to residential developments is visible through the dense network of roads like FM 1378 and Parker Rd, which connect established settlements like Lucas and Winningkoff. Numerous waterways including White Rock Cr, Wilson Cr, and Maxwell Cr weave between the residential grids and the preserved open space of Trinity Park.
