1959 Map of Dime Box

About this map

Dime Box and Old Dime Box serve as the primary anchors for this rural landscape in central Texas, illustrating the shift of settlements toward transportation corridors. The Southern Pacific and New Orleans and Texas railroads cut a sharp diagonal through the terrain, dictating the development of local infrastructure. Along the northern edge, the route of El Camino Real traces a ancient path through the county, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the waters of Somerville Lake along the Middle Yegua Creek drainage.
