1957 Map of Waco West

About this map

The Waco Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, its expansive waters fed by the North Bosque River and South Bosque River. In the east, the city of Waco expands toward the banks of the Brazos River, showing a dense network of residential streets and civic institutions as they existed before 1970s urban revisions. The map details a city in transition, marking the locations of dozens of educational and religious sites such as Cedar Ridge Sch and Grace Temple.
