About this map

Twin Buttes Reservoir and the western edge of San Angelo dominate this West Texas landscape, where the confluence of three river systems defines the regional geography. The hydrology is centered on the Middle Concho River, South Concho River, and North Concho River, feeding into major reservoirs like Lake Nasworthy and O C Fisher Lake. The map reveals a complex network of recreational trails and access roads near the water, such as Potts Creek Trl and Winding Snake Trl, illustrating the area's modern role as a hub for outdoor activity.

Prominent landforms like the namesake Twin Buttes and Pulliam Point stand out against the terrain, providing natural landmarks that have guided travelers through Tom Green County for generations. The expansion of suburban San Angelo is evident along the eastern margin, while the western portions of the map retain a more open character, marked by seasonal watercourses like Pot Cr and marshy areas such as Red Slough.
