1955 Map of Keller

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary corridor through this North Texas landscape, connecting the growing communities of Haslet and Keller. In the mid-1950s, the terrain was defined by a transition from agricultural use to early suburban development, particularly around Watauga. Small watercourses like Henrietta Creek and Big Fossil Creek drain the undulating prairie, while landmarks such as the FAA Facility on Blue Mound indicate the area's increasing importance to aviation and regional infrastructure. Genealogists and local historians will find the Sweets Chapel Cem in the northeast particularly significant for tracing early Tarrant County settlers. The map clearly delineates the Fort Worth Corporate Boundary, illustrating the city's northward expansion toward the Denton County line.
