1960 Map of Hebron

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of Denton and Collin County is frozen at the edge of expansion in this early 1960s study. Small, established settlements like Hebron and Lebanon serve as local anchors, while the rail lines of the St Louis San Francisco and Texas and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe cross the plains. For genealogists, the map preserves several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Sonntag Cem, Baccus Cem, and Bridges Cem. The presence of Liberty Ch and several scattered Gravel Pits reflects the area's rural social and industrial life before the rapid suburbanization that would later reshape this region north of Dallas. The terrain is defined by the drainage of White Rock Creek and Indian Creek, with the northwestern corner showing the reach of the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir.
