Historic Urban Plans

David H. Burr produced this colorful map of Texas two years before the Republic was formed. This edition makes corrections to his 1833 version to demonstrate the land grants made to new settlers. In the lower left corner is the “Plan of the Port of Galveston, made by order of the Mexican Government, by Alexander Thompson, of the Mexican Navy, in 1828,” one of the earliest depictions of that community.
