About this map

Lewisville serves as a focal point in this 1925 survey, situated near the confluence of several vital waterways including Hickory Creek and the Elm Fork Trinity River. The landscape reflects a transition toward modernization with the presence of the Dallas-Denton Texas Electric Co line and the Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad, which provided essential links for the local agrarian economy. This sheet is notable for its documentation of the "Proposed" Lake Dallas and the accompanying Dam, illustrating a critical moment in regional water management.

Rural education is extensively mapped through a network of local schools, such as the Hackberry School, McCurley School, Lake School, and a Colored School north of Lewisville. These institutions, alongside the small settlement of Rector, highlight the scattered nature of North Texas communities before suburban expansion. Smaller watercourses like Stewart Creek and Mc Whorter Creek define the local topography, while landmarks like the Wire Bridge over Little Elm Creek indicate the era's infrastructure.
