Bartlett
In 1900, the Sanborn map (Sheet 1) depicts a small one-story wood calaboose in the town of Bartlett, Texas . It was located next to an alley between Clark and Pietzsch streets (city block 15) and north of East Front Street. In 1905 (Sheet 2), the one in block 15 is gone and there was a small one-story wood calaboose next to the city water plant between Emma and West Front streets (block 10). In 1912 (Sheet 3), the calaboose was referred to as a lockup next to an alley in city block 10 and the water tower had been moved. These buildings were replaced by a concrete calaboose that is still standing (see Calabooses).

Georgetown
The Sanborn maps dated 1900 (Sheet 2), 1905 (Sheet 3), and 1910 (Sheet 3) show a two-story stone calaboose in Georgetown, Texas at 910 Locust Street (city block 51). In 1900, it was part of a complex of stone buildings that included a water works building and in 1905 it was connected to city hall. The map does not clearly identify the size of this structure. The calaboose was replaced by an electrical supply building in 1916 (Sheet 2) and a two-story stone Williamson County jail occupied city block 13 on West 4th Street.

Granger
The Sanborn map dated 1910 (Sheet 3) shows a one-story wood jail in Granger, Texas. It was located in the 400 block of Broadway Street (city block 16) east of City Hall at the 900 block of Granger Street. In 1921 (Sheet 2) there was a smaller one-story wood jail at 130 ½ Granger Street (city block 16). The current concrete jail or calaboose is not depicted on the 1910 or 1921 Sanborn maps (see Calabooses).

Hutto
The Sanborn map dated 1937 (Sheet 2) depicts a small city jail behind the fire department at 226 East Street in the center of block 4. This was the only map available. It was not depicted at that location on the 1921 map (Sheet 2).
A small one-story wood jail is depicted on the 1885, 1891, 1896, 1902, 1909, and 1916 Sanborn maps (all on Sheet 2) in Round Rock, Texas. It was located at 408 Liberty Hill Avenue in city block 22 (lot 12).

Taylor
The first published Sanborn maps for Taylor are dated August 1885 and July 1889. No jails or calabooses were seen on any of these maps. In 1893, the Sanborn map (Sheet 4) depicts a small one-story wood lockup in Taylor in the public square (city block 22) at 213 Olive Street (aka 4th Street). In 1898 (Sheet 6) there were two small one-story calabooses (side-by-side) at the same location and the wood lockup was gone. These buildings were still there in 1904 (Sheet 4). In 1912 (Sheet 8) they were gone and there was a brick building that housed City Hall on the first floor, an opera house on the second floor, and a jail in the basement. It was still there in 1916 (last map available for Taylor). The U.S. Census lists 50 inmates in the Taylor calaboose in 1910. Forty-seven were men and three were women. Thirty-nine were White and eleven were Colored (Hill 1918:294).
