The "Geographically Correct County Map Showing the Lines of the Cotton Belt Route and Connections" (1890) by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway is a fascinating historical artifact from the late 19th century. This map was produced to showcase the routes and connections of the Cotton Belt Route, a prominent railway network serving the southern United States, particularly Texas and its surrounding regions. It highlights the railway’s pivotal role in transportation, commerce, and regional development during a period of rapid industrial and agricultural growth.

The map meticulously details the counties, cities, and towns serviced by the Cotton Belt Route:

  • Railway Lines: The Cotton Belt Route is prominently marked, illustrating its main lines and branches connecting key urban and rural areas. Major stops include St. Louis, Tyler, Texarkana, and other important hubs in Texas, Arkansas, and neighboring states.
  • County Boundaries: Clear demarcations of county borders make the map geographically accurate and useful for both commercial and administrative purposes.
  • Connections: The map also highlights connections to other rail networks, emphasizing the Cotton Belt Route’s integration into the broader U.S. railway system.

The St. Louis Southwestern Railway’s Cotton Belt Route map is a testament to the transformative power of railroads in shaping the economic and social landscapes of the southern United States. It offers valuable insights into late 19th-century transportation networks and their role in the development of Texas and surrounding regions.
