About this map

The sprawling suburban landscape of Arlington and Grand Prairie is defined by an intricate network of major thoroughfares and educational institutions during the mid-2010s. The map highlights the extensive footprint of The Univ of Texas at Arlington in the northwest, while the southern reaches transition into more specialized residential and aviation zones. Two major air facilities, the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport and Arlington Municipal Airport, anchor the central and western portions of the quadrangle, respectively.

Water features such as Johnson Cr and Cottonwood Cr wind through the built environment, eventually leading toward the shores of Joe Pool Lake in the southeast. Smaller named settlements and neighborhoods like Southland Acres, Florence Hill, and Webb provide important local context for genealogists and researchers tracking the urban evolution of the Tarrant Co and Dallas Co border region. This survey captures a moment of dense development just before further expansion altered these corridors.
