About this map

The Seagoville Federal Correctional Institution dominates the central landscape of this 1959 survey, situated just northwest of the growing community of Seagoville. The area reflects a transitional rural-to-suburban character on the outskirts of Dallas, where extensive Gravel Pits and a Fish Hatchery sit alongside winding watercourses like South Mesquite Creek and the East Fork Trinity River.

Transport and community life are anchored by the Southern Pacific and Texas and New Orleans railroads, which parallel major arteries like Old Seagoville Road. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural burial grounds and churches, including Lumley Cem, Frost Cem, and the Sand Branch Ch. Small aviation and recreation are also evident at the Cole Airport (Private) and the local Rodeo Ground, capturing a specific moment in North Texas development before modern expansion reshaped the county line.
