2010 Map of Comstock

About this map

Comstock serves as the primary hub for this stretch of the Trans-Pecos landscape, situated at a key crossroads where long-established ranch roads meet. The map reveals a land defined by its drainage systems, featuring the deep incisions of Rough Canyon and the winding paths of Cow Creek, Evans Creek, and Live Oak Creek. These watercourses dictate the movement of roads and the placement of remote infrastructure, such as the Robertson Ranch Airport positioned just northeast of the main settlement. The survey detail shows how transportation in this part of Val Verde County relies on a sparse network of designated routes like Ranch Rd 1024 and Zuberbueler Ranch Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. In the south, Chapote Draw cuts through the terrain, emphasizing the importance of ephemeral water paths in an arid environment where ranching remains the predominant way of life.
