1928 Map of Tankersly

About this map

Knickerbocker sits at the southwestern edge of this West Texas landscape, positioned near the confluence of several vital watercourses. The local hydrology is the dominant feature of the terrain, where the Middle Concho River and Concho River join with Spring Creek and Dove Creek to form a complex drainage network. This area, surveyed in the mid-1920s, shows the intersection of natural landmarks like the Twin Buttes with the infrastructure of the era, most notably the Kansas City Mexico and Orient San Angelo railroad line. The map captures a transition point where the South Concho River feeds into the main river system, highlighting the critical importance of water access for early 20th-century ranching and settlement in Tom Green County. The presence of numerous bench marks along the established roads suggests a carefully documented landscape during a period of expanding regional connectivity.
