Description

Plat of the town of Merkel, Texas which appears to have been part of a survey for the Texas & Pacific Railway Company. The various blocks of the town are divided to show the property lines. A legal statement at the top of the page asserts that the map is an accurate representation of the town and is signed by the land commissioner for the railway company. An inset in the upper-left corner shows the Grimes County School land. The map appears to have been sketched on a page from a ledger. Scale 1:3,600 (This map, Scale 1"=300', Drawn on Record 1"=200')
