This new rail road line does not appear on earlier versions of this map, including an earlier 1854 variant version.

A profusion of interesting details across the map, including topographical forts reports of springs Indians timber, wild horses, & more. A population key lower left above the insect of Galveston city vicinity notes the number of slaves in the state as well as both male and female freed slaves. A seminal and important map of the state.
