About this map

Lake Waxahachie dominates the central landscape of this Ellis County survey, which documents the expansion of Waxahachie and its surrounding rural communities during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The map captures a critical period of infrastructure growth, evidenced by the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal facilities near the city limits. A dense network of transportation corridors converges here, including the Missouri Kansas Texas, Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, and Fort Worth and Denver railroads, illustrating the area's role as a transit hub between major North Texas centers.
