1959 Map of Euless

About this map

Euless and the surrounding mid-cities area are captured here during a transformative era of suburban expansion and infrastructure development. The massive footprint of the Dallas Fort Worth Regional Airport dominates the northeastern corner, illustrating the large-scale shift from rural prairie to a global transportation hub. This change is underscored by the dense network of corporate boundaries for Bedford, Arlington, Irving, and Grand Prairie, which hem in established rural landmarks like Bear Creek Cem and St John Ch. Along the meandering West Fork Trinity River, extensive Gravel Pits signify the industrial extraction required to build the growing metroplex. Transportation corridors like the Oklahoma Kansas and Texas railroad and the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike slice across the landscape, connecting the once-distinct settlements of Colleyville and Estelle.
