1967 Map of Concho

About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Concho River dominates this West Texas landscape, where the boundary between Runnels and Concho Counties cuts across a terrain defined by limestone bluffs and creek drainages. The small settlement of Concho is marked by a central Cem, while the curiously named Fuzzy sits to the west along the northern bank of the river. The area's mid-century rural economy is evidenced by scattered Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and a Gravel Pit. Notable geographic landmarks like Deadmans Bluff and Brushy Bluff rise above the water, framing the various branches and creeks such as Dripping Hole Branch and Pony Creek that feed into the primary river systems. This 1967 survey provides a detailed look at the water-access points and land-use patterns in a sparsely populated ranching and energy-producing region.
