2013 Map of Rhome

About this map

Rhome and New Fairview anchor this landscape during a period of significant suburban expansion north of Fort Worth. The area is defined by its aviation history and residential growth, featuring multiple local airstrips including Fairview Airport, Howard Field Airport, and JW Airport. A network of creeks, such as Elizabeth Creek, Harriet Creek, and Derrett Creek, weave through the terrain, influencing the layout of modern subdivisions and farm-to-market roads. A notable historical nod is found in the naming of Old Chisholm Trl, suggesting the enduring legacy of early cattle drive routes. The map records the densification of road networks like FM-2264 and numerous private lanes that branch off the primary corridor of Highway 287, illustrating the transition from open ranch land to a structured residential and commuter community in the early 21st century.
