Summary[edit]
| Title |
English: Asher & Adams' Texas [Western Portion] |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: New York atlas publishers Asher & Adams' map of the western portion of Texas shows minimal topographical features along with western counties established before 1871, when an enormous Pecos County was created from El Paso and Presidio Counties. The projected route of the Texas & Pacific Railway crosses the plain from east to west, continuing into the inset of far western Texas at lower left. Construction on this railroad had halted in Dallas due to the financial panic of 1873 and it did not resume until 1876, when a small section was extended to nearby Fort Worth. Further work on the western portion of the railroad shown in this map did not resume until 1880. |
