About this map

The boundary between Parker Co Tarrant Co defines this mid-century survey, where the expanding development of Fort Worth begins to meet rural cattle and gravel country. Along the shores of Eagle Mountain Lake, the map documents the establishment of residential pockets like Castle Hill Estate while maintaining the footprints of an older, agrarian landscape. The terrain is deeply carved by the headwaters of Marys Creek and Silver Creek, which are dotted with small community landmarks such as the Bluff Springs Sch and Silver Creek Ch.

A network of gravel operations, including several Gravel Pits (Inactive), signals the region's industrial utility during this era of growth. Family histories are anchored here at the Huff Cem and Newsom Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists. The route of the Jacksboro Highway serves as the primary artery connecting these outlying settlements to the developing urban core, passing near the Highway Chapel at the edge of the lake.
