Notes: Historical maps of Texas, parts of Texas, Texas bigger than Texas, Texas as a part of Mexico, and Texas “It’s a Whole ‘Nother Country”. Again, as with An Atlas of Historic New Mexico Maps (see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/new-mexico/an-atlas-of-historic-new-mexico-maps-1550-1941/ ) is the lack of fine detail (Emory’s boundary map of 1855–what’s the point? Okay, I get it. It’s a historical map, but you can’t read the damn thing.). To its credit there are several city maps (Beaumont, Dallas–in three dimensions, Galveston) that provide some fine detail. All maps from the Library of Congress Geography and Map Division (unless otherwise noted).
