1959 Map of Colleyville
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The northern reaches of Tarrant County and southern Denton County are shown here during a transitional period of suburbanization, with the 1959 base data updated by 1970s revisions. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek, which provide drainage for the emerging residential areas of Colleyville and Southlake. Cultural landmarks such as the Lonesome Dove Ch and White Chapel reflect the rural community foundations, while the proximity of Grapevine Lake at the northeast corner signals the area's development into a regional recreational hub. Transportation is anchored by the Texas and Pacific and St Louis Southwestern railroads, which bypass the older road networks like Carroll Road and School Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including the Medlin Cem, Oddfellows Cem, and Bourland Cem.
