1928 Map of Zephyr

About this map

Brownwood serves as the bustling hub of this Central Texas landscape, where the Ft. Worth and Rio Grande and Santa Fe railroads converge near the banks of Pecan Bayou. The map reveals a deeply settled rural society defined by its local institutions, with numerous country schools like Delaware School and Slighdale School serving dispersed farmsteads. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the creek-carved hills of the Brown Co Mills Co border region, where family names and community landmarks take center stage.
