1959 Map of Rowlett

About this map

Lake Ray Hubbard dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, its rising waters reshaping the valley of the East Fork Trinity River and Muddy Creek. Published with revisions in the late 1960s, the map documents the transition of northern Dallas County from a rural farming district to a burgeoning suburban frontier. Early settlement nodes like Sachse and Pleasant Valley remain distinct, while the expansion of Garland begins to push eastward toward the shores of the new reservoir.
