About this piece

Southern Texas in 1888, an original map by Rand, McNally & Co. printed in black on toned paper with railroad lines overprinted in red and blue. The running head "Rand, McNally & Co.'s Southern Texas" appears across the top between atlas page numbers 452 and 453.

The sheet covers the Gulf Coast and the Rio Grande border country, with counties outlined from Galveston Bay at the upper right down to Starr, Hidalgo and Cameron at the southern tip. Corpus Christi Bay and the barrier islands are drawn along the coast, and the Gulf of Mexico is lettered across the right of the sheet. Railroad lines run inland from Galveston and the Gulf ports, and the Rio Grande is traced along the border with Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Coahuila lettered on the Mexican side.

A small inset at the lower right shows the whole state of Texas with the area covered by the main map, together with a part of Indian Territory and New Mexico, which lets the reader place the sheet within the state as a whole. The map records the southern counties of Texas as the rail network reached the border.
