1957 Map of Knickerbocker

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Settlements and sprawling family ranches dominate this West Texas landscape southwest of San Angelo in the late 1950s. The community of Knickerbocker and the railroad stop at Tankersley serve as focal points for a region defined by its water sources, including Spring Creek, Dove Creek, and the Middle Concho River. The map captures a moment of transition for local infrastructure, showing the Municipal Airport (Mathis Field) and the Panhandle and Santa Fe railway alongside institutional landmarks like the Tankersley-Twin Mountain Sch and the Boys Ranch of West Texas. Numerous family-named holdings, such as the Tweedy Ranch, Mayer Ranch, and XQZ Ranch, illustrate the historical land use patterns of Tom Green County. To the northeast, the San Angelo Reservoir and Lake Nasworthy provide essential water management for the arid terrain, while the Pulliam Oil Field indicates the presence of the petroleum industry.
