1960 Map of Woodbine

About this map

The southeastern edge of Gainesville anchors this survey of eastern Cooke County, where the plains begin to give way to the drainage basins of the Elm Fork Trinity River. This 1960s-era landscape is defined by its transition from the established rail and street grid of the county seat to the emerging recreational waters of Lake Kiowa in the east. The rural community of Woodbine serves as a secondary focal point, surrounded by a network of creek systems including Pecan Creek and Wheeler Creek. The mapping reveals a countryside in transition, balancing the agricultural roots of small settlements with the mid-century development of local reservoirs and the expansion of the regional infrastructure around the Elm Fork Trinity River.
