About this map

Roanoke and Argyle anchor this North Texas landscape at a time when the region's rural character was beginning to interface with expanding residential and industrial activity. The southern reaches are dominated by the waters of Grapevine Lake, showing prominent shoreline landmarks like Bolo Point and Rocky Point. Moving inland, the map captures the transition from agriculture to excavation, noted by several Quarries and a Strip Mine located near the meanders of Denton Creek.

Transportation infrastructure defines the map's western half, where the Texas and Pacific railroad runs parallel to an Old Railroad Grade. Small community hubs are clearly marked, including the Double Oak Sch and Shiloh Ch, providing essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in the areas around Bartonville and Flower Mound during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
