1959 Map of Colleyville

About this map

The rolling prairies between Roanoke and Colleyville are caught in a moment of transition from rural farming tracts to suburban townships. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek, where several small communities such as Bransford and Old Union maintain their identity alongside expanding town boundaries. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the many country churches and burial grounds that dot the area, including the historic Lonesome Dove Ch and the Medlin Cem in the north.
