Lake Arlington serves as the dominant hydrological center for this portion of the Metroplex, bounded by the growing suburban corridors of Arlington and Fort Worth. The landscape reveals a densely gridded residential and commercial expansion that surrounds earlier landmarks like Arlington Dam and Rush Creek Lake Dam. For those tracing local heritage, several historic burial grounds are preserved amid the development, including Handley Cemetery, Tate Cemetery, and Hawkins Cemetery. Smaller communities such as Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, and Kennedale retain their distinct identities despite the encroachment of major transit arteries. Recreational and industrial history is represented by the Forest Hill Drag Strip and local aviation sites like Action Aero Airport, showing how the land shifted from rural crossroads like Johnsons Station to a multifaceted urbanized region.
