The details include counties, county seats, railroads, topographical and watershed with contours at 250' intervals. This map, by Robert T. Hill, a widely known scholar, teacher and geologist, brought new sophistication to Texas cartography and helped set new scientific standards for the region's cartography. Complete with and bound into rear of the USGS Bulletin #190 - A Gazetteer of Texas by Henry Gannett. The gazetteer contains several single page thematic maps of Texas.
