1955 Map of Aledo

About this map

The Texas and Pacific railroad forms a diagonal spine across this landscape, connecting the growing community of Aledo with the western edge of Benbrook. This survey captures the Parker and Tarrant county line during a period of transition, where small agricultural settlements like Iona and Luthers sit near the expanding corridor of the Veterans World War II Highway. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Clear Fork Trinity River and its numerous tributaries, including Marys Creek and Walnut Creek.
