USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
The junction of the Colorado River and the Concho River anchors this late-19th-century study of central Texas, where the state's transition from open range to a rail-centered economy is clearly visible. Surveyed in 1890, the landscape is defined by the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, which spurred the growth of Ballinger while connecting smaller depots like Talpa and Valera. Away from the tracks, earlier settlements such as Runnels and Glen Cove stand as established community centers.
