1959 Map of Wylie

About this map

Lavon Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its shoreline reaching toward Branch and Winningkoff during the late 1950s. The rising waters of the reservoir and the smaller Muddy Creek Reservoir signify a period of significant hydraulic engineering and land-use change in this part of Collin County. To the west, the rural character remains intact near Lucas and Parker, where a network of gravel pits and local family landmarks like Fitzhugh Cem and Moulden Cem are preserved.
