1961 Map of Forreston

About this map

Lake Waxahachie dominates the central landscape of this Ellis County survey, its irregular shoreline reaching into the surrounding Texas blackland prairies. The reservoir is fed by South Prong Creek and Waxahachie Creek, serving as a focal point for the growing water needs of Waxahachie at the start of the 1960s. The mapping shows a transition from agricultural use to infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits and the Filtration Plant near the lake's edge.
