Texas and Louisiana Historic Maps Online

Maps are a good way to picture what is discussed in a given history, and to aid in personally interpreting historical sites. The TTA owns approximately 200 early topographic, highway, soil, railroad commission, hand-drawn and other maps. We have identified and scanned portions of the maps which we think are significant for showing early layouts of towns, early roads and railroads, now-vanished communities, mines, quarries, etc., We are currently working to move all our map images online.

Searching the Maps
Names of towns, industries and other features are being compiled into text documents that can be searched through our Manuscript Search Engine. Print copies of maps can be provided through the TTA store. Select "Map Print." Proceeds from the sale of copies go directly toward supporting the server space needed to maintain our images free of charge.
