1985 Map of Comstock

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Rio Grande and the lower Pecos River carve deep canyons through this portion of Val Verde County, defining a landscape shaped by water and transport. During the mid-1980s, the Amistad Reservoir dominated the southeastern corner, its fingers reaching up Evans Creek and the Devils River. The Southern Pacific railroad line parallels Highway 90, connecting a series of isolated stations and outposts like Pumpville, Lozier, and Langtry. Evidence of early human habitation and natural formations are noted at Big Tree Cave and Emerald Cave, while Seminole Canyon State Historical Park preserves the cultural heritage of the limestone bluffs. The map captures the infrastructure of the borderlands, from the International Jurisdictional Line to remote water tanks and landing strips that served the sprawling ranchlands and canyon country of West Texas.
