About this map

Joe Pool Lake dominates the northwest corner of this landscape where the suburban expansion of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex meets the limestone escarpment. The city of Cedar Hill serves as a central hub, flanked by the growing communities of Duncanville and DeSoto. This era shows a transition from rural ranching to residential development, though significant open spaces remain at the Mount Lebanon Encampment and Cedar Hill Bible Camp.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial grounds, including Little Bethel Cemetery near the northern boundary and Shiloh Cemetery to the southeast. The map also records several private aviation landmarks, such as the Flying B Ranch Airport and Eagles Nest Estates Airport. Waterways like Tenmile Creek and Red Oak Creek define the local drainage patterns, while infrastructure such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Dam highlights the region's managed water resources during this period of growth.
