1892 Map of San Angelo

About this map

San Angelo serves as the regional hub at the confluence of the North Concho R. and the South Concho River, anchored by the arriving tracks of the G. C. & S. F. Ry. at the turn of the century. This era of the Texas frontier is defined by a reliance on scattered water sources across the semi-arid landscape, as evidenced by the series of named springs including Pecan Spring, Lipan Spring, and Kickapoo Spring that supported early travel and ranching. To the south, the settlement of Christoval sits along the river near the border of Tom Green and Schleicher counties.
