1960 Map of Lewisville East

About this map

The Garza-Little Elm Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Denton County quadrangle, showing the shoreline as it existed before further regional development. The expanding urban footprint of Lewisville is highlighted in purple, indicating growth through the late 1960s and early 1970s against the original 1960 survey data. Key transportation corridors are defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroads, which intersect the terrain near the Elm Fork Trinity River. Smaller rural settlements and named points like McWhorter and Midway sit among a network of drainages including Indian Branch and Stewart Creek. The map also captures several recreational areas along the lake, such as Hackberry Park and Wynnwood Park, reflecting the early importance of the reservoir to local community life.
