1955 Map of Lake Worth
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Carswell Air Force Base and a massive Aircraft Plant dominate the landscape west of Fort Worth in this mid-century survey, showcasing the region's intense aerospace and defense industrialization. The map documents a period of rapid urban expansion, with purple-tinted revisions from 1968 highlighting the growth of Sansom Park Village, River Oaks, and White Settlement. These sprawling suburban footprints surround the eastern shores of Lake Worth, which serves as a major recreational hub featuring the Lake Worth Beach, numerous City Parks, and specialized camps like Camp Leroy Shuman and Camp Carter. To the north, the West Fork Trinity River flows from Eagle Mountain Lake past the State Fish Hatchery, while the eastern plains remain relatively open, marked by the Saginaw Airport and various Gravel Pits.
