1955 Map of Keller

About this map

Haslet and Keller anchor this landscape during a period of significant regional growth in north Tarrant County. The map captures the area as it stood in the mid-1950s, with updates from 1968 highlighting a major highway Under Construction through the center of the sheet. This transport corridor bisects the drainage of Big Fossil Creek and Bear Creek, illustrating the transition from open ranchland to a more connected suburban infrastructure. Two major rail lines, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Texas and Pacific, define the western and eastern margins of the map, respectively. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Sweets Chapel Cem near the northern county line and the prominent geological feature of Blue Mound. Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Haslet Radio Beacon and multiple pumping stations serving the growing regional needs.
