1932 Map of Paint Rock

South of the main river, the terrain rises toward Deadmans Bluff and Brushy Bluff, overlooking the winding path of the Concho River. The map reflects a period of infrastructure development in the early 1930s, showing State Highway No 23 cutting south through the drainage of Pony Creek. The presence of small settlements like Concho and numerous named branches such as Stag Creek and Fuzzy Cr provides a detailed look at the water-dependent settlement patterns of the era.
