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 follows a rigid east-west line across the winding waterways. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Deadmans Bluff and Brushy Bluff, illustrating the dramatic elevation changes that define the river valleys.

Small settlements like Concho and Fuzzy represent the local centers of life, supported by a mix of ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits, a Gas Well, and an Oil Well. The map also traces the infrastructure of the late twentieth century, including a prominent Pipeline and a network of creeks like Pony Creek, Amos Creek, and Duck Creek that feed into the primary river systems.
