About this map

Carbon sits at the heart of this Eastland County landscape, defined by a street grid that reflects the area's coal mining heritage with names like Anthracite St, E Coal St, and Cannell St. The town serves as a hub for a network of country roads connecting small settlements and rural landmarks, including the outlying communities of Mangum and Punkin Center.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the S Fork Leon River in the northwest to a cluster of named reservoirs such as Buster Hanson Lake, Carlton Lake, and Lake Olden. These water sources, alongside McGough Springs and creeks like Nash Cr, have historically supported the region's ranching and agricultural operations. Genealogists can locate significant local burial sites, specifically Murray Memorial Cem south of the main settlement and Flatwood Cem located near the center of the map.
