1955 Map of Aledo

About this map

Aledo and the western edge of Tarrant County are captured in the mid-1950s, showing a landscape defined by the drainage of the Clear Fork Trinity River and the steady path of the Texas and Pacific railroad. The map documents rural settlement patterns before the full expansion of the Fort Worth suburbs, highlighting small communities like Iona and Benbrook. Of particular interest to family historians are the scattered burial sites such as McConnell Cem, Underwood Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery.
