1959 Map of Weatherford

About this map

Weatherford serves as the central hub of this North Texas landscape, anchored by institutions like Weatherford College and landmarks such as the Rodeo Ground. The city's mid-century expansion is visible in its neighborhood schools, including Bowie Sch and the North Side Consolidated Sch. To the west and north, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural ranching and farming communities connected by the Texas and Pacific and the Weatherford Mineral Wells and Northwestern railroads. Small settlements like Peaster, Poolville, and Garner are defined by their local institutions, from Lone Star Ch to the Bethesda Cem. The drainage of the Clear Fork Trinity River and tributaries like Grindstone Creek shape the rural road network, while the Toto Gas Field indicates the region's mid-century energy production.
