About this map

The Colorado River and Concho River converge in this West Texas survey, marking a rugged landscape where Runnels, Concho, and Coleman counties meet. Before the era of modern bridges, local transport relied on numerous river crossings such as Trap Crossing, Coffee Ford, and Gin Ford. These shallow points were vital for the rural economy, connecting isolated ranching communities and local schools like Grape Creek Sch and Liberty Sch.

The settlement of Leaday serves as a focal point near the river junction, surrounded by terrain defined by Brushy Bluff and winding waterways like Grape Creek and Bull Hollow Creek. This map, based on 1920s data, provides a detailed look at the scattered schoolhouses and homestead-adjacent crossings that supported these Texas frontier counties before large-scale infrastructure changes altered the river corridors.
