1959 Map of Rowlett

About this map

Rowlett and its neighboring communities in Dallas, Collin, and Rockwall counties are captured here just before the era of major suburban expansion. The landscape is characterized by a network of winding watercourses, most notably the East Fork Trinity River with its prominent Horseshoe Bend and the convergence of Rowlett Creek and Muddy Creek. At this time, smaller rural settlements like Sachse, Pleasant Valley, and Liberty Grove maintain their distinct identities, linked by regional arteries such as Lavon Drive and Merritt Road.
