1959 Map of Euless

About this map

Amon Carter Field stands as a central aviation hub in this late-1950s landscape, complete with its Terminal Control Tower and radio towers. The surrounding Tarrant County terrain is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Trinity River and the extensive Gravel Pits that suggest a region in the midst of heavy infrastructure expansion. Rural roots remain visible through numerous family and community landmarks, including Bear Creek Cem, Colloway Cem, and several local schools like Watson School. The transit corridor is transitioning rapidly, evidenced by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and the modern Dallas Fort Worth Turnpike cutting across the southern landscape. This survey captures the mid-century growth of Euless, Bedford, and Colleyville before suburban residential footprints fully overtook the agricultural and industrial spaces.
