About this map

The confluence of the Concho River and the Colorado River defines this Central Texas landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small community of Concho, situated near the southern banks of the river before it meets the vast waters of the O. H. Ivie Reservoir. This reservoir dominates the eastern half of the quadrangle, drowning former river bends and creating prominent topographic features like Deadmans Bluff and Brushy Bluff along its winding shoreline.

Rural connectivity is maintained through a network of county roads and the Ray Stoker Jr Hwy, which crosses the arid terrain north of Apache Hill. Numerous small tributaries, including Amos Creek, Duck Creek, and the curiously named Dripping Hole Branch, drain the surrounding plateau into the primary river systems. The map captures a moment of modern water management and sparse ranching infrastructure, typical of the Rolling Plains region.
