About this map

San Angelo's northern expansion is clearly visible in this mid-century survey, where the suburban interface meets the West Texas landscape. The map highlights the development of the Lake View district, featuring the Lake View Sch and the adjacent Lake View Stadium, as the city limits began to push toward the open terrain. The western edge of the sheet is dominated by the waters of San Angelo Lake, which serves as a significant geographical anchor for the growing residential grid and North Shore Drive.

Moving north, the terrain transitions into more dramatic elevations, peaking at the distinctive Devils Courthouse. This rural area is defined by the winding paths of Bald Eagle Creek and Red Creek, where the Red Creek Sch once stood along the banks. Industrial and transportation infrastructure are prominent, with multiple pipelines crossing the territory and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad providing a vital corridor through the ranching and quarry lands.
