1995 Map of Rowlett

About this map

Lake Ray Hubbard dominates the eastern and southern edges of this area, defining the suburban expansion of Rowlett, Garland, and Sachse during the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a landscape in transition, where new residential developments and parks like Windsor Park and Salmon Park began to fill the spaces between older agricultural landmarks. Traces of the region's rural past remain visible through features such as Pleasant Valley Cem, Cottonwood Ch, and the small settlement of Liberty Grove. Several drainages, including Rowlett Creek and Muddy Creek, feed into the reservoir, creating a complex interface of suburban streets and natural waterways. This survey serves as a clear record of the infrastructure supporting North Texas growth, from the Garland Sewage Disposal plant to Rowlett High Sch, captured just as the neighboring towns were merging into a continuous urban corridor.
