1965 Map of San Angelo
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The San Angelo region in the mid-1960s serves as a primary hub for the West Texas ranching and petroleum economy, centered around the confluence of the South Concho River and Middle Concho River. The landscape is dominated by a transition from the Edwards Plateau into the Permian Basin, where the Santa Fe railroad tracks the southern industrial corridor through towns like Texon and Santa Rita. Significant military and aviation infrastructure is evident, including the active Goodfellow AFB and multiple auxiliary sites like Broome Air Force Auxiliary Airfield. Hydrological management is a defining feature of this era, shown through the completed San Angelo Reservoir and the expansive Twin Buttes Lake. Small, established settlements such as Mertzon, Barnhart, and Sterling City act as scattered anchors across the vast network of intermittent drainages like Centralia Draw and Mustang Creek.
