Great Gift!

This Texas Trails map is a parchment toned reproduction of the superb 1876 S. A. Mitchell County Map of Texas from an original in the Electric Books collection. It is thought to be one of the best Texas and Southwestern maps ever published for the period after the Civil War through the end of the 19th century.

Upon it we laid, in color, the documented routes of the major Texas and Southwestern northbound cattle trails including the Chisholm/Eastern Trail, the Western Trail, the Goodnight-Loving Trail and the Shawnee Trail, as well as the later route of the Butterfield Overland Stage Lines. In addition, we detailed the locations of the major Frontier and Indian Territory military forts including some very early private forts. This highly detailed post Civil War map also shows some historic locations like Jesse Chisholm's Ranch, the Chisholm Store in Indian Territory, the famous Red River Crossing on the Chisholm Trail in Montague County, Doan's Crossing of the Red River in Wilbarger County on the Western Trail and Horsehead Crossing on the Goodnight-Loving Trail and Butterfield Stage route..

In Texas and the Southwest, the period after the Civil War from about 1865 to the middle 1890's was turbulent with reconstruction, the final Indian Wars, the development of long distance transportation including the telegraph, stage lines and railroads. The cattle drives rebuilt a staggering Texas economy and opened up a new food source to all of the United States.

The sample picture shown is at very low Internet resolution and reduced in size. It does not even begin to show the detail and quality of the actual map. All Antique Maps of Texas(tm) reproductions are scanned at 300+ dpi and offer fantastic resolution and detail even in reduced sized prints.

The Perfect Gift: As period decor, a business gift, and as a working map for writers, scholars, schools, historians, researchers.

Frame Size: The sheet size fits nicely in easily available stock  frames.  All maps are printed on very heavy natural parchment finish acid-free paper with archival inks. Beautiful in a frame, but also capable of withstanding continuous handling and everyday use.

While there is nothing like owning an original map, a quality reproduction offers access to almost unavailable maps, affordable pricing and the opportunity to actually use the map rather than just protect it. Unlike many cheap reproductions which are taken from easily available archives and reproduced on inferior poster paper  for effect, all maps from Electric Books are professional quality products on expensive high quality paper stock. In addition, we actually own or have the rights to all of the maps which we reproduce. They are direct :1 to :1 high resolution reproductions from the originals, not downloaded copies of copies of copies...

Shipping: We ship our maps carefully rolled in a tube to US postal destinations only.
