1959 Map of Wylie

About this map

The Lavon Reservoir dominates the eastern portion of this landscape, its shoreline defining the local geography as it appeared in the late 1950s. Surrounding the water, the terrain is marked by a transition from agricultural fields to expanding lakeside developments like the Lavon Lake Baptist Encampment and East Fork Park. The southern portion of the sheet features the growing town of Wylie, where the industrial and transport infrastructure is concentrated, including a Filtration Plant and Substation at the junction of several rail lines.
