1959 Map of Hurst

About this map

The West Fork Trinity River snakes across the southern portion of this Tarrant County survey, defining a landscape of active industry and rapid suburban expansion. During the mid-century period, the area between Hurst and Bedford transformed into a modern residential corridor, while the river bottoms remained dominated by large-scale Gravel Pits and public works like Sewage Disposal plants. Evidence of the region's earlier rural character persists in the form of several family and community burial grounds, including Arwine Cem and Parker Cem.
