About this map

The Trinity River and its multiple forks anchor this mid-century portrait of North Texas, capturing the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex during a period of rapid post-war expansion. The map details a complex network of reservoirs and infrastructure projects, including Grapevine Reservoir, Eagle Mountain Lake, and Lake Tawakoni, illustrating the region's managed water resources. Major military and educational institutions are well-defined, from Carswell Air Force Base and Hensley Field to campuses like Texas Christian University and Southern Methodist University.
