About this map

The town of Miles serves as a central hub on this West Texas landscape, positioned at the junction of rail and road near the Runnels and Tom Green county line. The agrarian and industrial character of the region is evident through the widespread distribution of Gravel Pits and industrial infrastructure like the Storage Bins west of the town center. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of the Concho River, which provides a focal point for local geography at sites like Mullins Crossing.

Water management is a defining feature of the area, as seen in the presence of the Main Canal near Veribest and a complex network of tributaries including Willow Creek, Bottle Creek, and Little Concho Creek. These drainage patterns, alongside the Levee and the Sewage Disposal Pond, reflect the human engineering required to support both the established town of Miles and the surrounding ranching or farming operations during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
