1897 Map of Brackett

USGS Topo · Published 1897

About this map

Fort Clark stands as the primary anchor in this 1890s West Texas frontier landscape, situated just above the Brackett townsite. The map reveals a transition from the established military presence to an emerging ranching and transport economy. To the south, the Seminole Settlement highlights the unique cultural history of the area near Las Moras Spring. The terrain is dominated by the Anacacho Mountains and the winding course of the West Nueces River in the north. The arrival of the Southern Pacific R. R. and the Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio R. R. brought industrial activity to places like Cline and Carbonville, while numerous family holdings such as Weymiller Ranch and Woodhull Ranch indicate early settlement patterns along the intermittent creeks.
