About the Item

Large Antique Map of Texas with Panhandle Bay Inset Maps, Colton, 1873 This richly detailed and visually striking antique map of Texas was published in 1873 by G.W. C.B. Colton, one of the most prolific American cartographic publishing firms of the 19th century. Titled "Colton’s Texas", this is a later edition of Colton's double-page state map, showing the rapidly developing infrastructure and administrative divisions in Texas during the post-Civil War expansion era. The map presents a comprehensive overview of the state, with the eastern and central regions densely subdivided into counties, while the western region still contains large, unsettled tracts such as Presidio, El Paso, and Pecos. Notably, the previously vast Bexar and Young territories have been broken up into numerous new counties, reflecting a political and demographic reorganization that dates the map close to 1876, despite the printed date of 1873. Railroad lines are shown in detail, revealing Texas’ emerging transport network, along with extensive labeling of forts, post offices, roads, rivers, springs, and topographical features. The cartographic style is clear and meticulous, employing soft hand coloring to delineate counties. The map includes four informative inset maps: * A large "Plan of the Northern Part or Panhandle of Texas" * "Plan of Galveston Bay from the U.S. Coast Survey" * "Plan of Matagorda Bay" * "Plan of Sabine Lake" These insets provide enhanced regional detail of Texas’ critical coastal and frontier areas. The map is further embellished with Colton’s iconic decorative scrollwork border and bold titling. This map is not only a valuable historical artifact but also a beautiful example of American cartography, ideal for collectors interested in Texan history, westward expansion, or 19th-century U.S. development. Condition Report: Original hand color. Light toning along edges with a few minor chips at top and bottom. A couple of short edge tears have been archivally repaired. Trimmed close to the lower border by the binder but not affecting image or title. Centerfold as issued. Framing Tips: A walnut or dark oak frame works well to highlight the earth-tone palette of the map. Pair with a deep cream or antique white mat, ideally with a gilt inner fillet to echo the scroll border design. Oversized UV glass is recommended for protection and visual clarity. Technique: Lithograph with original hand coloring Maker: G.W. C.B. Colton, New York, 1873 (dated)
