About this map

Blanket serves as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape, situated along the border of Comanche and Brown Counties. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as S Broadway and 6th St, with the local Po marking the center of the community. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive water management system, including numerous reservoirs like Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and the Brownwood Lateral Watershed-Number 20. These sites, scattered across the drainages of Salt Creek and Blanket Creek, reflect the region's agricultural infrastructure and efforts to control runoff in the watershed.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the several rural burial grounds that dot the area. Rock Church Cem sits near the county line to the northeast, while Routh Cem and Moro Cem provide historical anchors for families in the western and central portions of the quadrangle. Distinctive terrain features like Salt Mtn rise above the drainage systems of Delaware Creek and Steppes Creek, providing a clear view of the rural road network that connects these scattered homesteads and local landmarks.
