1959 Map of Duncanville

About this map

Mountain Creek Lake dominates this southwestern Dallas County landscape, serving as the industrial and recreational anchor for several growing mid-century communities. The Dallas Naval Air Station (Hensley Field) and the Mountain Creek Water Power Plant mark the northern shore, signaling the area's importance to regional defense and infrastructure. Further south, the map captures the residential expansion of Duncanville and Grand Prairie as they moved toward the wooded ridges of Florence Hill.
