About this map

The Trinity River corridor southeast of Dallas defines this landscape, where the riparian bottomlands of Fivemile Creek and Prairie Creek meet industrial and residential growth. This 1958 survey, with revisions through the early 1970s, captures a transitional era for satellite communities like Hutchins, Balch Springs, and Kleberg. The map documents a significant concentration of private sporting and social landmarks along the river, including the Fin and Feather Club Lake and the Dallas Hunting and Fishing Club Lake.

Educational and civic infrastructure is prominently mapped, from the Hutchins Boys Industrial School to local institutions like Samuel High Sch and Macon Sch. Neighborhoods such as Home Gardens and Grove Haven appear alongside long-standing rural markers like Lincoln Memorial Park (Cemetery) and Carver Cem. The rail lines of the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific provide the industrial backbone for the region's mid-century expansion.
