1891 Map of Cleburne
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
Cleburne and Hillsboro anchor this late-nineteenth-century landscape, appearing as primary rail hubs during a period of rapid North Texas expansion. The intricate network of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railway and the Missouri Kansas and Texas Railway reveals how rail competition drove the development of towns like Alvarado and Grand View. In the southwest corner, the Brazos River carves a deep path near the early settlement of Kimball, while the Nolands River system drains the central prairie. Small communities such as Marystown, Egan, and Covington are meticulously noted, many having formed around rural post offices and stage stops. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks like Caddo Peak and Brushy Knob, which served as critical navigation points for travelers long before the arrival of the St. Louis Arkansas and Texas Ry. along the eastern edge of Hill County.
