1965 Map of Comanche Hills

About this map

The Atascosa River carves a winding path through this South Texas landscape, defined by a network of drainage hollows and intermittent creeks that feed into the river valley. In the mid-1960s, the Missouri Pacific railroad and the adjacent corridor for Route 281 provided the primary north-south infrastructure for this ranching and mineral-rich region. The small settlement of Suniland serves as a central reference point, located near the confluence of Weedy Creek and the river plains.
