About this map

The Colorado River and Concho River converge in this West Texas landscape, marking a significant hydrological junction at the boundary of Runnels and Concho Counties. The small settlement of Concho sits just north of the river fork, accompanied by a small Cem, while the locality of Fuzzy is situated to the west near a series of Gravel Pits. The terrain is defined by dramatic river features such as Deadmans Bluff and Brushy Bluff, alongside unique water features like the Dripping Hole.

Subsurface resource extraction is evident across the ranchland, with a Gas Well and Oil Well mapped near the southern drainages of Amos Creek and Duck Creek. The map documents a rural Texas economy transitioning between traditional cattle ranching and modern energy development. Numerous seasonal waterways, including Pony Creek, Horse Creek, and Rocky Branch, carve the limestone uplands that drain into the primary river systems.
