1913 Map of Millican

About this map

Millican stands as the primary rail hub in this 1910-surveyed landscape, where three major rail lines converge amidst the fertile bottomlands of the Brazos River. The map reveals a complex transportation network with the Houston and Texas Central RR cutting across the northern reaches and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe RR paralleling the river to the south. This era is defined by large-scale agricultural operations, evidenced by labels such as Steele Farm, Allen Farm, and Rogers Farm, which suggest the concentrated land ownership typical of the Brazos valley during the early 20th century.
