Town of Saluria out side of Port O connor Texas.

Yeah Ive lurked alot on this site and Seldom always seems to have great information.  I have posted a couple times and he has been of help.  I also have some family property that supposedly has a strong box from a train robbery on it,  back in the 1950's and 1960's they had some treasure hunters and archeologist searching it.  Makes me wish I had a ground penetrating radar I would love to use it on the full 600 acres of our property just to see what may be there as well.  This place is also under research,  unfortunately the portion of the property that the strongbox may be on may not be the family property.

Yeah i need to try to get to the small museum in the county. Issue is its only open during days and time I at work. I have emailed once before a few months back on another project I was/am working on but they new less about what I was researching then I did,  so I shared my research they are currently looking into the stuff I gave them. So they could possibly add some more info to one of the small sisplays they have.

its an older post, but if you are still looking, have you tried the Texas General Land Office?
they have a great number of old TX maps, copies of originals for sale.

i have a bookmark of another good TX map resource, will have to dig to find that one.
also another great place to search is insurance maps.  it would be the same as mapping out each store in a shopping center today.
these have been very handy for me in past research, one in particular proving that a certain bank existed and its location in the proper era.
insurance maps could prove to be most valuable on this one.

good luck, and would love to join in if i had the time!! will be that way with the family this summer, but like i said....with the family!

the site seems to be down right now, but for the insurance maps,  check out the Texas State Library and Archives Commission
they show to have a couple maps of port o conner, but from 1955....not sure if this will help any
