Description Asher & Adams' Texas (Eastern Half) 1871 UTA.jpg |
English:
This map by New York atlas publishers Asher & Adams shows the state of eastern and southern Texas railroads and counties with minimized topography shortly before the financial panic of 1873.
[1]
The recently created counties of San Jacinto (1869), Rains, and Delta (both 1870) are included, but Aransas County, created in 1871, does not yet appear. Railroads shown include: 1) the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos & Colorado Railway (chartered in 1850, portions of which constituted Texas' first operating railroad by 1853, and completed as far as Columbus by 1867); 2) the Galveston, Houston & Henderson Railroad (chartered 1853, completed to Houston before the Civil War); 3) the Brazoria & Houston Tap R.R. or Houston Tap & Brazoria Railway (chartered 1856, largely completed before the Civil War, but seriously deteriorated by 1870); 4) the Houston & Texas Central Railway to Dallas (chartered in 1848, completed to Dallas by 1872); 5) the Western Branch of this to "Austin City" (completed in 1871); 6) the Waco Tap (chartered 1866, completed 1872); 7) the Houston & Gr. Northern Railroad (chartered 1866, completed to Trinity by 1872): 8) the Texas & New Orleans Railroad (chartered 1856, operating between Houston and Beaumont in 1867 but soon portions were discontinued due to lack of funds); 9) the northern transcontinental branch of the Texas & Pacific Railway (chartered in 1871 and completed between Texarkana and Clarksville in 1872); and, 10) the southern branch or Southern Pacific Railway (originally chartered as the Texas Western Railway in 1852 and not related to the more famous California-based Southern Pacific from Shreveport, Louisiana, completed to just beyond Longview, Gregg County, across the Sabine River to Smith County in 1872).
