The Compass Rose of Austin's Colony

The Compass Rose of Austin's Colony

2016 Texas General Land Office Holiday Ornament

The Compass Rose of Austin’s Colony is the first ornament produced by the Texas General Land Office Save Texas History Program. It was inspired by Stephen F. Austin’s 1837 Connected Map of Austin’s Colony, which is one of the most important in the collection, establishing the model for future mapping at the GLO.
