1893 Map of Sweetwater

About this map

Sweetwater serves as the primary hub at the intersection of the Texas and Pacific Railway and various creek drainages in this late nineteenth-century survey. The landscape is defined by the escarpments and peaks separating the drainages of Sweetwater Creek and Mulberry Creek. To the south, the historical site of Fort Chadbourne sits near the border of Coke and Runnels counties, while small rural clusters like Hylton, Dora, and Nubia mark the early ranching and farming footprint of the Rolling Plains.
