USGS Topo · Published 1894About this map
The Rio Grande defines the southwestern boundary of this West Texas territory, where military outposts and desert mountain ranges shaped the landscape during the late nineteenth century. The map highlights the strategic positioning of Fort Hancock Post and Fort Hancock Station alongside the tracks of the Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway. This rail line served as a vital corridor through the arid basin, connecting remote desert stops like Madden, Finlay, and Malone.
