Where the Four Counties Collided (Texas)

Kent McMillan · 2016-07-20T03:17:00Z

While I realize that elsewhere in the US it is a major exercise just to lay out a modern small lot subdivision to anything resembling modern accuracy standards, in Texas we get to deal with somewhat more difficult problems. I spent today writing up the history of this area where Maverick, Kinney, Uvalde, and Zavala counties meet in Southwest Texas. It is a large-scale jigsaw puzzle mostly created in the period between 1849 and 1932 where many of the puzzle workers didn't even have a good picture of what the whole thing was supposed to look like. One County Surveyor apparently thought it was a picture of Heidi Klum while another thought it was one more episode of Hollywood Squares. Only in Texas.

I found myself at the GLO shortly after J.P. was sworn in and it was "media day". They had all the most precious documents out. The Alamo muster roll. The bowie grant. On the table. Unprotected. No gloves. How can you be a steward of the records like that? That commissioner was tolerable, but his replacement grinds my stomach.
