About this map

The Grape Creek settlement and its surrounding ranchland define this West Texas landscape just north of San Angelo. Established on the high ground north of the North Concho River, the community is anchored by the Grape Creek Cemetery and a residential grid that has expanded significantly by the early 21st century. The map highlights the area's transition from open ranching country, evidenced by the Brown Ranch, to a more developed suburban fringe connected by the Old Sterling City Hwy and several farm-to-market routes.

Water management is central to the topography, with the North Concho River flowing toward the expansive O C Fisher Lake in the southeast. Smaller tributaries like Mule Creek and Bald Eagle Creek drain the surrounding hills, while the Kenneth Brown Reservoir Dam and Kenneth Brown Reservoir provide local water storage. To the north, the terrain rises toward the namesake Mount Nebo, a distinct landmark overlooking the creek valley and the patchwork of named lanes like Possum Hollow Rd and N Walnut Grove Rd.
