1959 Map of Hurst

About this map

The West Fork Trinity River carves through the southern landscape of this survey, bordered by the extensive Gravel Pits that defined the local industrial activity between Fort Worth and Arlington. The map documents a pivotal era of suburban expansion in the Mid-Cities, with early residential footprints spreading across Hurst, Bedford, and Euless. The purple tinting highlights significant urban growth that occurred since the late 1950s, particularly around the Kansas Oklahoma and Texas and St Louis Southwestern rail corridors.
