About this map

Lebanon and the burgeoning community of The Colony anchor this 1960 survey of the North Texas landscape, showing the transition from agricultural land to suburban development. The map details a network of rural settlements like Lolaville, Camey, and Shepton along the border of Denton Co Collin Co. Transport and infrastructure are central to the area's layout, defined by the St Louis San Francisco RR and the Atchison Topeka and Santa FE RR.

Genealogists can locate several family-named landmarks including Sonntag Cem, Bridges Cem, and Baccus Cem, along with Liberty Ch. The landscape is etched by drainage systems like Indian Creek, White Rock Creek, and Spring Creek, while the northwestern corner shows the reach of the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir. Local industry is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Quarry, while the Air Park-Dallas Airport highlights the region's mid-century aviation connections.
