Nearby Communities in the 1890sWe largely built the following list with information that came from an Atlas published by Rand McNally in 1895.  The Atlas had details such as the population of the community (which appears to have come from the 1890 Census) and whether there was a post office and/or railroad service available.  Over time, we will continue to add communities that we find during our research. If it applies, we indicate whether a community no longer exists and is now historic.<1> While we didn't find Cardwell Town in the Atlas, the following communities of the 1890's would have been found near the current location of Cardwell Town.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists.  However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.  Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable.  If you can provide us with more specific information about Cardwell Town, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |  | <2> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |  | <3> | The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. |  | <4> | An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates.  That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location.  A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace. |  |  |
