1957 Map of White Rock Lake

About this map

White Rock Lake serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of East Dallas and the western edge of Mesquite. The landscape reflects a period of intensive post-war residential expansion, with a dense network of new subdivisions surrounding established neighborhoods like Reinhardt and Rawlins. Public and parochial infrastructure is well-documented, from the Buckner Orphans Home and St Pius X Sch to the numerous local campuses such as Adams High Sch and Gaston Jr High Sch.
