Large, handsome map with county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the three large western counties of El Paso, Presidio, and Bexar in the west.

Nice depiction of the wagon roads, many named, with several completed railroads including the Houston & Guaymas R.R. Insets include Plan of Sabine Lake, Plan of the Northern part of Texas, and Plan of Galveston Bay. Decorative scrollwork border.
