1893 Map of Weatherford

About this map

Weatherford serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century landscape, where a radial network of roads and the Texas and Pacific Railway converge. This 1889 survey captures a transitional period in North Texas, documenting a world where travel still relied heavily on river fords and ferries. Along the West Fork of Trinity River, specific transit points like Powell Ferry, Stephensville Crossing, and Maxwell Crossing illustrate how early settlers navigated the bottomlands of Big Valley.
