1957 Map of Waco West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Brazos River and Bosque River define the landscape of this mid-century Texas survey, where the expanding urban footprint of Waco meets the developing shoreline of Waco Lake. The map reveals the growth of residential districts in the 1950s and 1970s, featuring a dense network of local landmarks like the Heart O' Texas Fairgrounds and the US Veterans Hospital. Transport hubs such as the Waco Municipal Airport and Banana Junction highlight the region's importance as a central Texas junction. Beyond the city center, smaller settlements like Bosqueville and Beverly Hills retain their individual character, while the river's path winds through Steinbeck Bend near Lovers Leap. This document effectively captures the transition of the McLennan County landscape as suburban expansion pushed toward Woodway and the lakefront.
