Vintage Map of Abilene, Texas 1883
This vintage map of Abilene, Texas was created in 1883 by Augustus Koch, a prominent 19th-century panoramic map artist known for his detailed bird’s-eye views of American towns and cities. The map shows Abilene only two years after the Texas and Pacific Railway arrived, capturing the young West Texas city at the very beginning of its growth.
