1959 Map of Grapevine

About this map

Grapevine Lake dominates the northern landscape of this survey, which captures the North Texas prairie as it began its rapid suburban transformation. The central town of Grapevine is shown at a pivotal moment, with its historic core along Wall St and Nash St transitioning from a rail-oriented agricultural center to a modern hub. The presence of the St Louis Southwestern railroad tracks highlights the town's historical reliance on transit, while the emerging highway network and massive Radio Stations (WFAA & WBAP) facility to the southeast signal the area's growing regional importance.
