1960 Map of Denton East

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The eastern expansion of Denton is the central focus of this 1960s study, where the growing urban grid meets the sprawling waters of the Garza - Little Elm Reservoir. The map illustrates a landscape in transition as residential streets like Robinwood Lane and Shady Oaks Dr push east toward the Elm Fork Trinity River. Educational and social institutions are prominent, including the Texas Womans University and its Texas Womans University Golf Course, alongside rural remnants such as Old Alton Ch and Swisher Cem. The transportation network is anchored by the Texas and Pacific and Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroads, which cross the terrain near the small settlements of Corinth and Mingo. Along the jagged shoreline of the reservoir, recreational and religious retreats like Camp Copass and the Jesuit Retreat mark the interface between the rising water and the Denton hills.
