2019 Map of Harriet

About this map

Harriet sits at a geographic crossroads in Tom Green County, where the sprawling outskirts of San Angelo begin to give way to the drainage basins of the Concho River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways, including Tenmile Creek and Red Creek, which feed into the Erwin-Jordan Reservoir in the southeast. This area preserves local genealogy markers such as the Harriet Cemetery and distinctive landforms like Snake Hill. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid to a rural road system, with family-named routes like Hooper Ln and Duckworth Rd branching off from regional arteries like the Old Ballinger Hwy. This 2019 survey documents the intersection of modern infrastructure with the historical hydrography of the Texas ranch lands, capturing the area just before the more dense development of the San Angelo metropolitan area reaches these northern creeks.
