1893 Map of Anson

About this map

The county seat of Anson stands as the central hub of this late-nineteenth-century landscape, surrounded by a sparse network of early ranching and farming outposts. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Clear Fork of Brazos River, which draws in a complex web of tributaries including Deadman Creek, California Creek, and Bitter Creek. To the southeast, the historical site of Phantom Hill overlooks the river valley, marking a significant point of interest for those studying the frontier defensive line of early Texas.
