Counties spread in tinted patches from the settled east to the immense, sparsely peopled west, where the Staked Plain stretches toward the distant Rio Grande.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe map was issued in New York by the prolific publisher A. J. Johnson, drawn from earlier work by J. H. Colton. A handsome strapwork border frames the whole, and three insets enlarge the panhandle, Sabine Lake with its depth soundings, and Galveston Bay on the Gulf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 1862 Texas had belonged to the Union for barely seventeen years before joining the secession, much of its territory still a thinly mapped frontier. The giant western counties of El Paso, Presidio, and Bexar sprawl across blank country awaiting roads, settlers, and the surveyor's measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map stands as a testament to a young and restless state at a decisive turning point, offering a window into Texas during the conflict that reshaped the nation. Among the most collectible state maps of the era, it lends rugged character to any living room, office, or study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":67827671302333,"sku":"ENMAP0841_1624L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":67827671335101,"sku":"ENMAP0841_2436L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1Ul4HXQRiP8z_M6NPe_G4A-e0Fp_RS-Y8_w1000.jpg?v=1792312519","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1862-texas-state-county-map","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
