Historical Diagram of Copperfield - Area Sites



Interpreting this map
The Copperfield neighborhood is at the center of this map. The numbered pink circles on the map indicate points of interest from various time periods. The items in black and green were present in 1954. The items in red are more recent items. Interstate 35 was just built in 1954. The large green area is Dillingham Pasture.

A farm road was located north of today's Yager Lane and crossed through what is now the north part of Copperfield. The exact location of the farm road seems to be a little north of Markham on the west end and it passes through (today's) Captain Hopkins Cove and crosses (today's) Parmer Lane just beyond the north end of Thompkins.
