DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Original cyanotype (blueprint) map of "massive beds of buda limestone" and associated oil wells drilled in the area between 1915 and 1925. The blueprint map "Reconnaissance Map of Part of Williamson, Texas" covers an area extending north from Round Rock, Texas, terminating at Georgetown, Texas a distance of approximately 8 miles.

Owners of the tracts of land shown on this map include: Francis A, Hudson, B. C. Low, A. L. Eaves, N. B. Anderson, and Thomas Glasscock.

From 1854 to 1882, the Texas state legislature gave each railroad company 16 sections of land out of its public domain for every mile of railroad constructed and put into use anywhere in the state. The map shows the lines for two railways: the International and Great Northern Railroad (I. & G. N. R. R.) and the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad (M. K. & T. R. R. ) which encircle the area covered in this map.
