This very finely engraved map is beautifully rendered and colored in a delicate pallet of pastel tones. Centered on Indian Territory, the map shows a railroad between Galveston and Houston which extends to Austin with several spurs to nearby towns including Washington, Wharton and Columbus. No other railroads are shown in Texas. San Antonio is the tiny village S. Antonio de Bexar and Dallas is named. Northwest of Austin on the River Llano are "German Settlements." Cartography is credited "According to Calvin, Smith and Tanner".
