1959 Map of Rowlett

About this map

Rowlett and the surrounding North Texas blackland prairie appear here in the late 1950s, a landscape defined by the winding drainages of Muddy Creek and Rowlett Creek. The area is a mosaic of small farming communities and family landmarks, with Pleasant Valley and Liberty Grove serving as local hubs. This era shows the transition of Garland into a more suburban footprint, while older centers like Sachse maintain their identity along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad line.
