Title : North Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. May 1991

Caption :

The northern two-thirds of Dallas and such peripheral cities as Richardson, Plano, Allen, and McKinney to the north are featured in this near-vertical photograph of a region experiencing tremendous population growth. Visible are the central business district of downtown Dallas (west of center); the runways of Dallas Love Field (northwest of downtown); and north-south U.S. Highway 75, the Central Expressway. Three large reservoirs and their respective dams are apparent—Garza Little Elm Reservoir northwest of Dallas, Lavon Reservoir to the northeast, and Lake Ray Hubbard to the east. Visible are White Rock Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, meandering southward through central Dallas; the street pattern of most of the surrounding cities; and cultivated (angular) agricultural fields north of the cities.
