About this map

The confluence of the Middle Concho River and Spring Creek creates a complex hydrologic network in this West Texas landscape, as surveyed by W.H. Griffin and J.H. Wilke. Small agricultural hubs like Knickerbocker and Arden anchor the river valleys, while the rugged topography is punctuated by distinctive landmarks such as the Twin Buttes. The arrival of the Kansas City Mexico and Orient railroad represents a significant era of transit, cutting across the drainages of Dove Cr and the Concho River. This 1920s survey illustrates a region defined by its water sources, where early infrastructure like the Sherwood Road and San Angelo Road linked isolated ranching outposts. The detailed contouring highlights the transition from the upland plateaus down toward the South Concho River, reflecting the work of the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers in managing the area's vital river system.
