South Concho River

Rising from Anson Springs some 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Christoval, Texas, in Tom Green County, it flows north through the town of Christoval, then continues north for 13 miles (21 km) before it joins the Middle Concho to form Twin Buttes Reservoir[1] in what is now southwest San Angelo.

Because it is unique in the southwestern landscape, it was a landmark favored by both Indians and early Anglo travelers.

An important stopover on the Comanche War Trail, the South Concho was also a welcome resting place for early Anglos heading west across Texas.

Today, the South Concho River is a popular recreational spot for residents in the area.

The public can access the water at Pugh Park or the low-water crossing in Christoval, Texas.
