tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1125 - 310 miles west of San Antonio, Texas & 238 miles east of El Paso lies Ft. Stockton. A favorite rest stop on the Trails of the Comanche, the San Antonio-Chihuahua Wagon Road and the Butterfield Overland Mail Route, Ft. Stockton provided a market for farmers, stockmen and merchants. After the Texas Pacific and Santa Fe railroads bypassed Ft. Stockton the town experienced a transfer of wealth, yet recent gas exploration holds great hope for these rails.
