About this map

San Angelo's northern expansion is recorded here during the late 1950s, showing a transition from dense urban blocks to the sprawling institutional and industrial outskirts of Tom Green County. The northern city limits are defined by the Lake View Sch and Lake View Stadium, while leisure and entertainment of the era are represented by a Drive-in Theater and the local Fairground. This period marks the early presence of the San Angelo Reservoir to the west, a critical water management feature for the region.

Transportation and aviation infrastructure dominate the central landscape, specifically the large footprint of the Pulliam Air Force Auxiliary Airfield (Abandoned) and the San Angelo Yard rail facilities. The northern terrain rises toward the prominent Devils Courthouse Peak, with the land dissected by Red Creek and Bald Eagle Creek. The infrastructure of the petroleum and rail industries is evident through multiple pipelines and the tracks of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and Panhandle and Santa Fe railroads.
