About this map

San Angelo serves as the focal point of this 1920s survey, situated where the North Concho River and South Concho River converge to form the Concho River. The landscape reveals a burgeoning transit hub, with the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the Kansas City Mexico and Orient railroads intersecting within the city limits. This network supported the regional economy and connected the ranchlands of Tom Green County to distant markets.

Rural education and local landmarks are clearly defined beyond the city center, including the Bismarck School and Harmony School located along secondary routes like the Mexico Road. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the city to the winding courses of Ninemile Creek and Pecan Creek in the south. The presence of the Country Club near the South Concho suggests the early 20th-century social expansion of the San Angelo area.
