1893 Map of Georgetown

About this map

The Georgetown area of Central Texas appears here at the height of its railroad-era development, centered on the convergence of the North Fork San Gabriel River and the South Fork. Two major rail lines dominate the landscape: the Austin and Northwestern Railroad connecting Liberty Hill and Leander, and the International and Great Northern Railroad passing through the regional hub. A distinctive feature of this survey is the dual representation of Old Round Rock and Round Rock, capturing the literal shift of the town toward the newer rail corridor. Beyond the larger hubs, the map traces early rural settlements like Corn Hill, Gabriel Mills, and the curiously named Nameless. The terrain transition is marked by landmarks such as Hog Mountain and Pilot Knob, which overlook the complex drainage of Salado Creek and Berry Creek.
