1929 Map of Frisco

About this map

The Elm Fork Trinity River landscape in the mid-1920s is defined by a dense network of rural school districts and small creek-side settlements before the expansion of North Texas reservoirs. The town of Lewisville stands as a primary hub, served by the Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad and the Dallas-Denton Electric line. This preliminary survey, which utilizes early aerial photography from the Army Air Corps, captures the area's transition into a more interconnected region while maintaining its agrarian character. Local education is central to the community fabric, evidenced by numerous named schoolhouses like Hackberry Sch, Lake Sch, and Round Grove Sch that dot the countryside. Near the confluence of Hickory Creek and the main river fork, landmarks such as Wink Bridge and the small settlement of Rector provide specific points of interest for those studying the early 20th-century geography of Denton and Collin counties.
