1888 Map of Hamilton
USGS Topo · Published 1888About this map
The county seat of Hamilton serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century survey of the Texas Cross Timbers and Lampasas Cut Plain regions. At this time, the Texas Central Railroad cuts across the extreme northeast corner near the Bosque River, while the rest of the landscape relies on a network of primitive roads connecting small agricultural communities. The drainage patterns are dominated by the Leon River and Cowhouse Creek, with numerous family-named landmarks and small settlements like Gentry Mill, Pottsville, and Hazle Dell indicating the early stages of rural development before the arrival of extensive rail networks to the south and west.
