1960 Map of Hebron

About this map

The Denton Co Collin Co boundary line divides a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural tracts to early suburban development at the start of the 1960s. Rail transport remains a primary feature of the local economy, with the St Louis San Francisco and Texas and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe traversing the region. Significant water features like White Rock Creek and the edge of the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir shape the topography, while small community centers like Hebron and Lebanon serve as local anchors. Family history and early settlement patterns are preserved in several locations, including Sonntag Cem, Baccus Cem, and Bridges Cem. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry near Shepton points to the extractive industries supporting the area's growth during this era.
