2019 Map of Venus

About this map

Venus serves as a focal point where the Johnson Co and Ellis Co line divides the landscape, showcasing a period of suburban transition in North Texas. The settlement pattern is defined by a grid of streets like Hickory ST and E Henderson ST, transitioning into the rural-industrial corridors leading toward Midlothian and Grand Prairie. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways, including Soap Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and early transport routes. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Newton Cem and the small-scale aviation footprint of the Venus Airport. To the southeast, the geography shifts toward the community of Mountain Peak and the waters of Camp Hoblitzelle Lake, illustrating the varied land use between traditional agricultural boundaries and the expanding infrastructure of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
