Original grantee
The SA&MG RR CO survey belongs to the San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad, chartered in 1850 to connect San Antonio with the Gulf trade. Like other early Texas railroads, it fits the state policy of granting land to promote internal improvements and transportation. The railroad did not function like a family headright grantee; its abstract name records a public-infrastructure bargain in which the State of Texas used land to help finance track, commerce, and regional access.
