1913 Map of Millican

About this map

Millican serves as a central hub in this Brazos County landscape, defined by a complex intersection of early Texas rail lines and river systems. The town is situated at the junction of the Houston and Texas Central RR and the International and Great Northern RR (Fort Worth Division), reflecting its importance as a shipping point before the widespread adoption of modern highways. To the south and west, the fertile bottomlands of the Brazos River are divided into large agricultural holdings such as Steele Farm, Allen Farm, and Rogers Farm. Along the river's bend, Hidalgo Falls provides a significant landmark near the boundary with Washington County. The eastern portion of the survey is drained by the Navasota River, which marks the border with Grimes County, while smaller settlements like Nelleva and Dinkins appear along the rail corridors.
