1959 Map of Carrollton

About this map

Elm Fork Trinity River and the extensive Gravel Pits along its banks define the industrial and natural landscape of this area during the late 1950s and 1960s. The map captures the rapid northward expansion of Dallas and Farmers Branch, where purple-tinted revisions show the suburban growth of the late 1960s encroaching on agricultural land. Key infrastructure of the era, such as the Elm Fork Filtration Plant and the North Lake reservoir, highlight the region's developing utility network.
