1960 Map of Denton East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Texas Womans University anchors the northwestern corner of this study, marking the eastward growth of Denton as it expands toward the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir. This mid-century landscape is defined by the intersection of major rail lines like the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas, which carved paths through a terrain of small settlements and institutional grounds. The southern portion of the sheet features the Denton State Sch and the Denton State Sch Ch, alongside older community centers like the Old Alton Ch. Along the shoreline, places like Shady Shores and Lake Dallas illustrate the development of lakeside communities and recreation sites such as Camp Copass and the Jesuit Retreat. The map captures the hydrological transition where Elm Fork Trinity River and Hickory Creek feed into the reservoir, creating distinct features like Graveyard Slough and Cantrell Slough.
