About this map

The confluence of the Middle Concho River and Spring Creek forms a critical hydrographic focal point in Tom Green County, as documented by the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers in the mid-1920s. The settlement of Knickerbocker sits in the southwest, anchoring a landscape where the river system dictates the movement of both rail and road. The survey highlights the prominent Twin Buttes rising above the plains, providing a topographical landmark for the regional transportation network. The path of the Kansas City Mexico and Orient Road cuts across the center, illustrating the importance of rail connectivity in West Texas during this era. Meanwhile, the San Angelo and Sherwood Road follows the higher ground between the drainage basins of the Dove Cr and the main river branches, revealing the historical routes that connected regional trade centers before the modern highway system was established.
