2014 Map of Comer

About this map

Comer sits along the southern rail line near the border of Bullock and Barbour counties, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including the S Fork Cowikee Cr and the winding Johnson Cr to the southeast. The area is dotted with significant private water bodies such as McCains Lake, Wehle Lake, and the specifically named Grants Duck Pond, which suggest a land use pattern focused on recreation, conservation, or agricultural irrigation. Transportation in the region is anchored by Us-82, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, and a series of rural routes like Martin Creek Rd and Great Hope Rd that connect the scattered farmsteads and creek bottoms. These drainage systems, including Martin Cr and Norton Cr, create a deeply dissected topography typical of the East Gulf Coastal Plain.
