1960 Map of Denton West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

North Texas State College and Texas Womans University anchor the growing city of Denton in the early 1960s, reflecting its role as an educational hub. This survey captures a period of significant transition, with residential expansion marked in purple revisions from 1968 and 1973. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major rail lines, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Texas and Pacific, which intersect near the historic downtown core. West of the city, the terrain opens into agricultural land and prominent rises like Pilot Knob and Bald Knob, while the Denton Airport and Texas A & M College Exper Sta No 6 signify the mix of aviation and research. To the south, the Guyer-Little Elm Reservoir and Denton Country Club represent the suburban and recreational development that followed the city's postwar growth.
