A well-compiled map of Texas, featuring detailed cartography, with additional maps of Colorado and Indian Territory printed on verso.
Watson’s atlases, such as the New and Complete Illustrated Atlas of the World, were widely recognized for their detailed and indexed maps. The Texas map from this atlas would have provided a comprehensive view of the state’s geography, including major cities, counties, rivers, railroads, and other important features relevant to settlers, businesses, and travelers.
Gaylord Watson was a prominent American publisher, best known for producing maps, charts, and illustrated prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He worked both independently and in partnership with other publishers, such as Phelps & Watson, based in New York City. Watson’s firm was recognized for high-quality cartographic and decorative works, including detailed maps of major U.S. cities (like Chicago after the Great Fire) and regions such as the Western United States.
