1955 Map of Keller

About this map

Agricultural lands and emerging infrastructure define this Tarrant County landscape during a period of transition in North Texas. The rail lines of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Texas and Pacific anchor the settlements of Haslet and Keller, reflecting the importance of heavy transport before the suburban expansion of the Metroplex. Key landmarks such as the Sweets Chapel Cem and the prominent Blue Mound provide topographic and cultural orientation, while the Haslet Radio Beacon and Keller Pumping Sta indicate the modernization of utility and aviation services. Waterways like Henrietta Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Big Fossil Creek carve through the terrain, interspersed with local features like a Gravel Pit and a Landing Strip, capturing the intersection of ranching heritage and mid-century industrial utility.
