About this map

The town of Justin serves as a focal point along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad in this 1960s study of Denton County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Denton Creek and its many tributaries, including Oliver Creek and Harriet Creek. The map records a period of agricultural transition and early suburban development, featuring the Elizabethtown (Site) and the nearby Elizabethtown Cem, preserving the location of earlier pioneer settlements.

Industrial activity is evident through several Quarries, Gravel Pits, and a Strip Mine north of Grapevine Lake. Educational and community landmarks like the Northwest High Sch and Good Hope Cem are documented alongside specialized infrastructure such as a Gaging Sta and Sewage Disposal plant. The intricate network of fence lines and field boundaries provides a high level of detail for those researching family landholdings in the mid-20th century.
