Railroad spine
The rail line that founded the town still crosses downtown from east to west. The grid on either side of it takes its orientation from the tracks.

The map
About this Abilene map poster
Abilene grew up along the Texas and Pacific Railway in 1881 and took its name from Abilene, Kansas, a cattle-drive town. On a map, the railway line still runs east to west through the downtown. A regular grid of streets extends in every direction across the flat West Texas plain.
The city is home to three universities: Abilene Christian, Hardin-Simmons and McMurry. Their campuses form distinct shapes within the grid. To the west lies Dyess Air Force Base, with its long runway visible even on a large-scale map. Reservoirs like Lake Fort Phantom Hill and Lake Kirby sit on the city's edges.
An Abilene map poster captures a classic plains city in clean lines. The grid runs almost unbroken for miles, the railway draws a diagonal through the centre, and the lakes and airbase add larger shapes around the edges. Abilene calls itself the Storybook Capital of Texas, and its sculptures of book characters line the downtown streets.

Three campuses
Abilene Christian, Hardin-Simmons and McMurry universities each occupy their own areas within the city. Their quads and buildings break up the regular street pattern.
Lakes and airbase
Lake Fort Phantom Hill and Lake Kirby sit near the city's edges, and Dyess Air Force Base lies to the west. Their large shapes frame the grid from outside.
