Yes, I do. But the roads around Meadwood Heights no longer exists. I would have to get access to an accurate old map going back to the 1970s or 1980s.
AFAIK, we already have the data required based on the years you stated were of interest to you as a local resident, and when you actually moved.
Also, the ANG military history web page cites dates of local changes in the pertinent part of Meadwood at least a year after you reportedly moved.
I have located USGS Topographic maps from 1959 and mid-to later 1970's (with a few revision dates in between) which are up to 1:24,000 Geo-PDFs.
Unfortunately USGS no longer distributes, the other file formats that actually provided contour data separate from graphic images of other objects.
While not optimal, these can be 'Raster to Vector' converted in a GIS application and/or Sketchup after pre-processing in a graphics application.
Resulting contour vectors can be processed to make Geo-refernced TINs and/or Terrain Mesh extending current data to Meadwood as old terrain.
I also remembered that I never did name my road project.
Which Road project ...the current one attached immediately above ?
Okay. So do I still need to do more work on the road project and how far out do I need to go?
When you say airfield roads, do you mean the roads inside the airport boundaries or those that go immediately around the airport boundaries?
I suggest including all Roads on-airfield and those immediately surrounding, including the current ANG and all of current Meadwood Heights.
Also, to assist with integrating an eventual terrain extension restoring Road(s) where you lived in 1970's, include:
* Tarrant City
* Oak Lawn
*Airport Highlands.
When doing this project, I set the vector width to matched the width in the image. The problem is that sometimes, the width changes over a distance. You'll also notice that the photo image shows 3 or 4 lanes and the entry and exit ramps show 1 or 2 lanes. I've also noticed that there are no textures for 3, 5, nor 7 lanes but only 2, 4, 6 ,8 and 10.
That is a valid point, as in the Modified Terrain.Cfg with or without UTX installed, we see only 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Lane Roads.
Try to copy/paste/move existing Road Poly-Lines; place additional number of needed lanes alongside
ex: 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 6 + 1 = 7.

Note especially SBuilderX' Help section:
Working with Points, Lines and Polygons > Move > Selecting and moving the whole Line
"If you click with the
Left Mouse on the segment of a Line you select the whole Line. Then you can move it (dragging with the mouse), delete it, copy it, paste it, etc. If you click with the
Right Mouse on the segment of a Line you get access to its Properties."
It will be easier to do this in SBuilderX than in Sketchup, and it allows creating / editing AFD infrastructure and custom AI A/C and/or Ground Traffic.

EDITED]
Another problem is that the default road vectors are so cluttered up with so many line vectors that it makes it more difficult and takes up so much time.
Remember, to inspect only
new CVX Vectors as you work, insert a
big CVX Vector Exclude Polygon below your new work Area layer in Scenery.Cfg.
That should exclude default and other 3rd party CVX Vectors from layers
below your new work ...from being rendered in FSX at run time.

END_EDIT]
Well, if you're referring to the roads and the freeway south of the airport, it's not precise or right on the money, but just by visually looking at the road vectors along with the photo image, it's probably accurate to within 100 feet.
CVX Vector ESRI Shapefiles SBuilderX used for BGLs extracted/imported to Sketchup become primitives' for 3D objects; Max.
precision is needed!
