About this map

Grapevine Lake anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, a region defined by the evolving boundaries of Colleyville, Southlake, and Westlake. The 1959 field data, updated with 1978 aerial photography, reveals the transition from rural agricultural land to suburban settlement. Notable historical landmarks such as Lonesome Dove Ch and White Chapel stand alongside earlier infrastructure like the St Louis Southwestern and Missouri Pacific railroads.

The presence of community hubs like Bransford and the Pleasant Run Sch highlights the area's social fabric before intense development. Small-scale aviation is represented by Goode Airport and various landing strips, while the terrain is marked by drainage systems including Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek. This map captures the Tarrant County countryside just as modern township boundaries began to solidify across the hills near Carroll Hill.
