| dc.description.abstract | The Archives and Records Program of the Texas General Land Office is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of the Twichell Survey Records. Willis Day Twichell (1864-1959), a prominent surveyor in West Texas and the Panhandle Plains from 1885 until his death in 1959, surveyed a vast amount of land, including the XIT ranch and the disputed Texas-New Mexico boundary along the 103nd meridian, as well as lands and boundaries for the Texas permanent school fund, railroads, and ranchers. Originally brought to Texas by an immigration company to plat the town of Garden City, Twichell ultimately surveyed lands in 165 of Texas’ 254 counties as well as locations in New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and Northern Mexico. | |
