1959 Map of Carrollton

About this map

Elm Fork Trinity River and its numerous tributaries, including Hutton Branch and Rawhide Creek, dominate this landscape at the intersection of Dallas and Denton Counties. The era is marked by industrial infrastructure like the Elm Fork Filtration Plant, extensive gravel pits, and the presence of the Missouri Kansas Texas and St Louis Southwestern railroads. These rail lines converge near the growing centers of Carrollton and Farmers Branch, while the western portion of the map remains more rural. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Bethel Ch, Perry Cem, and the Hackberry Ranch. In the south, the Park Cities Airfield and a drag strip reflect mid-century land use, while North Lake provides a major focal point for the surrounding Coppell community and North Lake Park.
