About the Item

Texas County Maps 1870s-1910 Image Size: 30.25 x 59.5 Frame Size: 32.75 x 62 Circa late 1800s Early 1900s "Willacy County" Early original hand drawn Texas County Maps (1870s-1910) About 50 years ago or so, a close friend of mine was an estate sale of an executive of the Rock Oil Company in Houston. He bought a collection of over 200 Early Texas County Maps. They must had had a division that made maps for the oil industry as well as others that may need them. These are all original, hand drawn with ink. The maps were drawn on some sort of fibrous somewhat "waxy" paper, most likely Vellum. They were all rolled when my friend found them. We unroll a few at a time as we sell others. We have to flatten them out on our hot table to get them as flat as possible. We then frame them with all conservation matting, backing and glass. Let us know your wants. You can see a handful on my website, but we have a detailed inventory list of the counties that are still available. Texas County Maps 1870s-1910 Many of these maps were originally surveyed for the railroads after the Civil War. The State of Texas traded the various railroad companies alternating tracts in each county in exchange for their commitment to bring rail tracks through each state. The transactions were motivated by the need to develop transportation for farm and ranch production to market. When the railroads ended up owning all the rural land they consequently owned substantial mineral rights. The Texas Railroad Commission was established to regulate the railroads and subsequently it regulated the oil and gas business since the railroad companies owned all the minerals. If I am not mistaken the Commission still regulates the energy business in Texas. These are historical and fun. We have sold many to folks that may have minerals or ranches or family history from particular counties.
