"Johnson's New Map of the State of Texas", Johnson & Browning

This handsome map shows county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the three large counties of El Paso, Presidio, and Bexar in the west. The panhandle, noted as the Staked Plain (Elevated Table Land, without Wood or Water), includes a large section that is unorganized. There are numerous wagon roads, a few completed railroads, and the US Mail Route traced on the chart. Insets include a Plan of Sabine Lake, Plan of the Northern part of Texas, and Plan of Galveston Bay. Surrounded by Johnson's early strapwork border, published by Johnson & Browning. According to Ira Lourie's Johnson Map Project, this map was published in 1860-61 with the southern tip of Texas not extending into the map border. Please visit his website for more information.
