The map is color coded by county and shows railroads, wagon roads, the U.S. Mail Route, rivers, ports, large towns, and villages of the mid-19th century. Much of the western portion of the state is divided into large counties that had yet to be properly surveyed. The job of a land surveyor on the frontier was one of most dangerous jobs in the world as the horse-tribes of the plains recognized land surveyors as a precursor to new white settlers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe timing of the publication of this map is noteworthy as the American Civil War had just begun and many of the federal military support and Texas Rangers went east to fight. This left the state of Texas very ill-equipped from a personnel and weapons standpoint in their ongoing war over territory with the Apaches, Kiowas, and Comanches. In the years following, much of the most western settlements would be lost as the plains tribes fought the line of American progress back to the east. While the map only identifies these tribes within an inset map of the norther panhandle, there presence was very much real and in effect throughout much more of the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe map also includes an inset of Sabine Lake on the border of Texas and Louisiana and another inset map of Galveston Bay. At the time, Galveston was seen as a sight of great economic promise that could one day rival New York in terms of wealth and population. Other noteworthy towns depicted in the map include Houston, Austin City, Dallas, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInventory #NA136\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Map Shop","offers":[{"title":"18 x 25 inches - Original Size","offer_id":39787642519600,"sku":"na136a","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"21.5 x 30 inches","offer_id":39787651956784,"sku":"na136b","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26 x 36 inches","offer_id":39787651989552,"sku":"na136c","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30.5 x 42 inches","offer_id":39787652022320,"sku":"na136d","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1404\/2135\/products\/NA136a_98c636dd-6ece-4a65-8b18-240e7abd1de3.jpg?v=1635947553"},{"product_id":"11773","title":"1936 Indians of North America","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy: \u003c\/strong\u003eJoseph (Jo) Jacinto Mora\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate of Original:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1936 (published) Monterey, CA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31.5 x 24 inches (80 x 61 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a fine print reproduction of an imaginative and educational chart celebrating Native American people and their culture by Joseph Jacinto Mora.
