Beschreibung:
Dr. Ferdinand von Roemer's 1849 map of Texas contains considerable information about trails and roads in Texas in addition to other topographical, geological, and even botanical details. It is based upon A New & Correct Map of Texas by James T. D. Wilson, published by R. W. Fishbourne in New Orleans in 1845, a map based upon Texas General Land Office surveys that is quite rare today. Among the routes, trails, and roads depicted by Roemer's map, but also on Wilson's, are: the route of the Texan expedition to Santa Fe in the year 1841; the Chihuahua Trail; the road between Presidio and Nacogdoches; a number of roads in eastern, central, and south Texas; roads in western Louisiana and Arkansas; and even Preston road through Dallas and Bonham to the Red River. Interestingly, the roads labeled as ferries on the eastern side of Wilson's map ("Gaines' Ferry", "Junker's Ferry", "Ballou's Ferry") Von Roemer translates more properly into German as "Fähre" (or literally "trails").
