About this map

Texas Christian University and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary anchor the southern urban landscape of Tarrant County in the mid-1990s. The map captures a high density of educational and social institutions, from the Masonic Home and School and Tarrant County Junior College South Campus to several parochial schools like St Marys Sch. The intersection of industrial and civic life is evident at the Fort Worth Federal Center and the Federal Correctional Institution, while neighborhoods like Edgecliff and Everman show established residential patterns.

Water and recreation are central to the city's design, seen in the winding course of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River and the famous Botanical Gardens. The southern reaches of the quadrangle follow the Sycamore Creek corridor, passing by the Glen Garden Country Club and Echo Lake. These landmarks, along with a complex network of thoroughfares like Vickery Blvd and Rosedale St, document the late 20th-century growth of Fort Worth's residential and institutional footprint.
