1984 Map of Knickerbocker

About this map

Knickerbocker and its surrounding ranch lands appear in this 1984 provisional survey, revealing a landscape defined by the confluence of West Texas water systems. The settlement is anchored by a local Cem, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the massive reach of the Twin Buttes Reservoir. This artificial shoreline contrasts with the natural winding paths of the Middle Concho River, Dove Creek, and Burks Creek. Aviation and infrastructure are represented by Mathis Field and the edge of Lake Nasworthy to the northeast. Smaller, localized water sources like Ketchum Spr and Xqz Lake point to the critical importance of water management in Tom Green County. The topography is marked by numerous draws and plateaus, showing the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the Concho river system.
