1995 Map of Oak Cliff

About this map

Oak Cliff and its surrounding residential neighborhoods define the landscape south of downtown Dallas, where the dense street grid gives way to more expansive institutional sites and recreational spaces by the mid-1990s. The northern portion of the map is heavily developed along major corridors like Davis Street and Illinois Avenue, while the southern reaches near Lancaster and Woodland Hills show a different character with larger plots and significant topographical features like Fivemile Creek. This survey details several educational landmarks including Paul Quinn College and Cedar Valley College, alongside critical regional infrastructure such as the Veterans Hospital and Redbird Airport. Transit patterns are deeply integrated, with the Missouri-Kansas-Texas RR and Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe RR skirting the urban edges while the Lyndon B Johnson Freeway provides a modern bypass through the southern sector.
