1932 Map of Voss

About this map

The Concho River winds through the southwestern corner of this survey, serving as a vital natural boundary between Runnels, Concho, and Coleman counties. This 1925 topography, published by the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers, captures a landscape of rural schoolhouses and river crossings before the mid-century creation of O.H. Ivie Reservoir. Small educational centers like Grape Creek Sch, Liberty Sch, and Redwire Sch are scattered across the terrain, indicating the distributed nature of this ranching and farming community. The map details several historic river access points including Coffee Ford, Winkler Ford, and Trap Crossing, alongside the settlement of Leaday. These features reveal how residents navigated the water system and rugged elevation changes at Brushy Bluff during the early 20th century.
