1960 Map of Celina

About this map

Celina serves as the primary hub of this North Texas agricultural landscape during the early 1960s, situated along the St Louis San Francisco and Texas (Frisco) railroad line. The map illustrates a transitional period for the area, where traditional rural life, evidenced by Old Union Cem and Crossroads Cem, begins to intersect with modern infrastructure like a pipeline and TV Towers. Small outposts such as Alla and Parvin anchor the corners of the quadrangle, while the drainage of Little Elm Creek and Wilson Creek dictates the movement of cattle and crops.
