Description
This is a copy of an authentic antique 1873 birds eye view map of Waco, Texas drawn by H. Brosius. The map includes Waco University, Waco Female College, Waco City Mills, railroads and railroad locomotive and the Brazos River. The margins are toned and slightly foxed which will give your print a very authentic "antique" look.

The city had a 2010 population of 124,805, making it the 22nd-most populous city in the state. The 2018 US Census population estimate is 138,183.

Indigenous peoples occupied areas along the river for thousands of years. In historic times, the area of present-day Waco was occupied by the Wichita Indian tribe known as the "Waco".
In 1824, Thomas M. Duke was sent to explore the area after violence erupted between the Waco people and the European settlers.
