1959 Map of Grapevine

About this map

Grapevine Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this survey, its shoreline reaching into the developing communities of Southlake and Grapevine. The area's transition from rural Tarrant County to a suburban hub is evident in the grid of local roads like Dove Loop and Bethel Road, punctuated by essential community landmarks such as Minters Chapel and the County Sch. The St Louis Southwestern RR cuts across the center of the sheet, linking the town centers and supporting local industry, including several Gravel Pits north of Coppell. South of the main settlement, the landscape remains defined by drainage systems like Big Bear Creek and Hackberry Creek, while the presence of Radio Stations (WFAA & WBAP) and a Drive-in Theater signals the mid-century modernization of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex periphery.
