About this map

Justin serves as the central hub of this agricultural and rail corridor in southern Denton County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Denton Creek and its many tributaries, including Oliver Creek and Harriet Creek, which flow toward the burgeoning waters of Grapevine Lake. Transportation and industrial infrastructure are prominent, with the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad cutting a straight line through the territory.

Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of several burial grounds, such as Old Justin Cem and Bishop Park Cem. A notable historical detail is the marking of the Elizabethtown (Site), preserving the location of an earlier settlement alongside the Elizabethtown Cem. This era shows the early growth of Northlake and the establishment of local institutions like Northwest High Sch.
