1960 Map of Lewisville East

About this map

The Garza-Little Elm Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Texas survey, defined by the massive Lewisville Dam and its adjacent Lewisville Hatchery. The growing settlement of Lewisville is visible to the west, showing early urban expansion with its High Sch and a street grid reaching toward the Elm Fork Trinity River. This area serves as a critical transportation corridor where the Missouri Kansas Texas and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads intersect, supporting a local economy heavy in resource extraction as evidenced by numerous Strip Mines and Gravel Pits along the riverbanks. Smaller communities like Round Grove, Mc Whorter, and Midway dot the rural interior, while the Ritter Cem and landmarks like Cemetery Hill provide important anchor points for family historians.
