Samuel Augustus Mitchell, c.1860, Texas. Each county individually hand colored and measuring about 11 by 13 1/2 inches. Decorative floral border, surrounds a handsome map showing counties, rivers, mountains, cities, and rail. The western part of Texas still has three territories. Mitchell's maps from this series are some of the more attractive maps from this period. This map is enhanced with a decorative "garland" of flowers which provides a handsome border, making this an especially attractive map. Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured. It includes a nice inset of Galveston Bay and Vicinity. This is a very attractive map of Texas. $495
A. J. Johnson, c. 1864 Texas. About 16 3/4 by 23 inches. Detailed early county (each differently colored) map from the civil war era showing landforms, early settlements and towns, rail and stage routes. The western part of Texas still has three territories. Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured. The earlier editions may also include vignettes around the map. Hand colored lithograph. $495
George Cram, c. 1886-1890, Texas. Each county outlined in light green and the state is outlined in
red, about 11 1/2 by 16 1/2 inches. This is an attractive map of Texas.
The map shows cities, towns, topography, rivers, and rails.
Family atlases published by Cram were very
popular in the late 1800's. Later
editions may have slightly different coloring.

Rand McNally, c. 1900, Texas. Full color, about 9 by 12 1/2 inches. A county (each differently colored) map of Texas. Provides very detailed information of cities, towns, lakes, rivers and other topography. No road system is shown as yet. The rail system evidences its importance. Has an inset of New Mexico and Oklahoma. An excellent early portrayal of the area. The technology used to develop this map was so advanced that it made all similar maps obsolete. $45
(Because the size of the scanner is slightly smaller than the map, some of the border does not appear in the photograph)
