1894 Map of Taylor

About this map

The railroad networks of late 19th-century Central Texas define the landscape of this survey, connecting established trade hubs across Williamson, Bell, and Milam counties. Taylor serves as a major rail junction in the south, while smaller settlements like Granger, Bartlett, and Holland line the Missouri Pacific Railroad corridor. The topography is shaped by the eastward flow of the San Gabriel River and the Little River, creating a rolling prairie environment where early communities like San Gabriel and Davilla developed away from the primary rail lines.
