1958 Map of San Angelo
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
San Angelo serves as the regional hub in this 1950s survey of West Texas, where the confluence of the North Concho River and South Concho River meets the recently completed San Angelo Reservoir. The landscape is defined by its strategic water sources and the Santa Fe railroad lines that connected isolated ranching and oil communities. From the military presence at Goodfellow AFB to the historic site of Fort Chadbourne in the north, the map documents a transition from frontier outposts to a modernizing economy. Small settlements like Sanatorium, Sterling City, and Robert Lee are anchored among the drainages of the Colorado River and Middle Concho River. This era shows the extensive network of secondary roads and trails branching out from Big Lake and Mertzon toward the high points of Margaret Peak and Nipple Peak, illustrating the vast spatial organization of the Concho Valley and the surrounding Edwards Plateau fringe.
