1959 Map of Weatherford North

About this map

Weatherford anchors the southern portion of this Parker County landscape, showing the city's mid-century footprint centered on the Courthouse and the intersection of the Texas and Pacific railroad. The map documents a transition from the urban core—home to Weatherford College and Campbell Memorial Hospital—to the outlying ranching and agricultural lands of the north. Significant water management is evident through a numbered series of reservoirs, including Res No 24 and Res No 30, alongside natural landmarks like Sunshine Lake. Local genealogy and community history are well-preserved through numerous rural institutions such as Zion Hill Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and Mt Carmel Cem. The road network is particularly notable for its variety, featuring the World War II Highway and Estel Rd reaching toward small outlying settlements like Peaster and Greenwood.
