About this map

The western edges of San Angelo meet a landscape shaped by water management and West Texas ranch land in this 2016 survey. The quadrangle is dominated by a complex network of reservoirs and waterways, including the expansive Twin Buttes Reservoir and the adjacent Lake Nasworthy. The Middle Concho R flows into these basins, while the northern reach of the map is defined by the shores of O C Fisher Lake.

Evidence of the area's frontier history and transition to modern suburban development is visible in the trail names and road network. Features like the Stage Coach Trl and Indian Path sit near the growing residential streets of southwest San Angelo. The distinctive geological profile of the Twin Buttes rises above the reservoir, providing a landmark that has long defined this terrain between the Red Arroyo and Pot Cr.
