What It Supports
The map provides strong contemporary evidence that Poston was being formally platted and mapped as a railroad-centered place in 1912.
Important Caution
The word “City” is part of the recorded map title. The archive does not treat that title alone as proof that Poston was legally incorporated as a municipality.
