1891 Map of Palo Pinto

About this map

The Brazos River carves a dramatic, winding path across this North Central Texas landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the region in the late 19th century. Near the center of the sheet, the county seat of Palo Pinto sits amidst a network of peaks and ridges, including Kyle Mt and Wolf Mt. To the east, the burgeoning town of Mineral Wells is already established, while the southern corridor is defined by the heavy industry and infrastructure of the Texas and Pacific Railroad.
