A lithographed map, with hand colored wash.

Size: 16 3/4 inches X 23 1/4 inches; Scale: 1 inch = approximately 40 miles.

Map Type: Atlas

This is an excellent copy, with strong lines and vivid colors. Water stains in upper and lower margins not affecting image.

This map was taken from Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas, With Descriptions, Geographical, Statistical, And Historical.

Noted on the map is "El Llano Estacado" or The Staked Plain. Also noted as "Elevated Table Land without Wood or Water" in direct conflict with John Arrowsmith's observations of this area of the state. Other features illustrated springs, passes, trading posts, and forts.

Counties are illustrated in different colors. Illustrates named roads between towns. Railroads are depicted in the southeast corner of the State. Topographical features include mountains and many rivers and their tributaries.

Western Texas consists of El Paso, Bexar, and Presidio territories. The map shows many military installations, including Fort Duncan and Phantom Hill. The Fort Ewell Rifles Military Station is identified in southern Texas. "German Settlements", "Indian Reserve", "Wichita Village", and "Wells Road" locations are noted along with many other long forgotten places.

A decorative border frame makes this map very attractive.

Three inset maps: "Plan of the Northern Part of Texas", "Plan Of Galveston Bay From The U.S. Coast Survey" and "Plan of Sabine Lake. No. 33".
