1892 Map of San Angelo

About this map

San Angelo sits at the confluence of the North Concho R. and the South Concho River, serving as a vital rail head for the G. C. & S. F. Ry. during the early 1890s. This survey, conducted under director J. W. Powell, reveals a landscape where water sources were the primary drivers of settlement and transit. Important watering points such as Pecan Spring, Lipan Spring, and Kickapoo Spring dot the limestone plateaus, connecting isolated outposts like Christoval to the larger trade networks.
