1957 Map of Abilene West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Dyess Air Force Base dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, its expansive runways and military reservation boundary defining the edge of the expanding city. The urban core of Abilene pushes westward, shown with purple revisions that highlight the growth of residential subdivisions and institutional landmarks like McMurry College and the West Texas Rehabilitation Center. The transportation network relies on the Missouri Pacific railroad and Interstate 20, which facilitate movement between the downtown area and the outlying settlements of Tye and Caps.
