About this map

The Tarrant Co Johnson Co boundary bisects this landscape, which in the mid-1950s was beginning to show the purple-tinted footprints of urban expansion from Fort Worth. Burleson serves as a primary hub, sitting at the junction of the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad and several arterial roads. Further north, Garden Acres and South Seminary mark the suburban fringe, while the western reaches include Crowley and the industrial activity of various Gravel Pits.

Elevations rise to prominent local heights at Brushy Mound and Turkey Peak, providing a contrast to the drainage basins of Village Creek and Deer Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of early community landmarks, including the Pioneer Springs Cem, Oak Grove Ch, and the Crowley Cem. The map also captures specialized agricultural operations like the Redchain Research Farm, reflecting the varied land use before full modernization took hold.
