1960 Map of Lewisville West

About this map

The vast Garza-Little Elm Reservoir dominates this landscape north of Lewisville, illustrating a period of significant hydrological and suburban change in Denton County. The 1968 purple revisions indicate the northward expansion of urban development and new infrastructure, such as the Missouri Kansas Texas and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail lines that cross the terrain. Historically significant sites, including Chinn Chapel and the nearby Chinn Cem, are documented alongside community hubs like Bethel Ch and the New Providence Ch. Further south, the map reveals the town of Flower Mound before its rapid late-century growth, as well as the shoreline of the Grapevine Reservoir. Notable specialized landmarks such as the Water Swimming (Crippled Childrens Camp) and several lakeside parks like Sycamore Bend Park reflect the region's development as a center for recreation and institutional care.
