1960 Map of Denton West

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The western edge of Denton is defined by a landscape transitioning from a collegiate urban center to the livestock and agricultural lands of North Texas. The city's mid-century expansion is anchored by North Texas State College and Texas Womans University, while the downtown core shows essential civic landmarks like City Hall, the Courthouse, and Flow Hospital. Significant transport corridors include the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the Texas and Pacific railroads, which move through a terrain dotted with distinct elevations like Pilot Knob and Bald Knob. To the west, the Denton Airport and the Texas A & M College Exper Sta No 6 highlight the region's focus on aviation and agricultural research. The presence of the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir in the southeast indicates the importance of water management in the watershed of Hickory Creek and its various branches.
