1963 Map of Forney North

About this map

The Rockwall Co Kaufman Co boundary line bisects this landscape, marking a transition from the agricultural uplands toward the sprawling drainage of the East Fork Trinity River. In the mid-1960s, the area's rural character is defined by scattered farmsteads and small settlements like Heath and McLendon, with the growing town of Forney situated along the Texas and Pacific railroad in the south. The land is heavily articulated by a dense network of waterways including Little Buffalo Creek and Mustang Creek, with several sections marked for controlled inundation.
