Central Texas at the end of the 19th century was defined by a dense lattice of competing rail lines that reshaped the frontier. The Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe Railway and the Missouri Kansas & Texas Railway converge at Temple, illustrating its rapid rise as a transportation hub for Bell County. To the west, Belton remains anchored by the Leon River, while the northern reaches of the map show the branching tributaries of the South Bosque and North Cow Bayou.
