About this map

The West Fork Trinity River winds through this landscape, marking the convergence of rural history and massive mid-century infrastructure. Originally surveyed in the late 1950s with later updates, the map documents the emergence of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and the sprawling reach of the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike. Despite the encroaching urban footprints of Arlington, Euless, and Grand Prairie, significant genealogical landmarks remain, such as the Bear Creek Cem and Shady Grove Cem.

Industrial activity is heavy along the river valley, characterized by numerous Gravel Pits that suggest the raw material needs of the region's rapid growth. Small community centers like Shady Grove and Estelle are captured alongside local institutions including the Watson School and Westridge Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed heights of Bedford and Colleyville down to the bottomlands where Little Bear Creek and Johnson Creek feed the main river system.
