1909 Map of New Boston
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
New Boston and the older town of Boston serve as the commercial anchors in this early twentieth-century portrait of Bowie County. The landscape is defined by the east-west corridor of the Texas and Pacific RR (Sherman Line) and the St Louis Southwestern RR, which supported a network of small rail-side communities like Maud, Carbondale, and Whaleys. This survey provides a rare glimpse into the rural social geography of the era, marking numerous community landmarks such as Chalybeate School, Shiloh Church, and Paps School that were vital to the area's residents before modernization.
