1985 Map of Comstock

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a deep international boundary between Mexico and Texas in this mid-1980s landscape, where the Pecos River makes its final descent into the vast Amistad Reservoir. This high-desert terrain is defined by its deep limestone drainages, including Osman Draw, Lozier Canyon, and the sheer walls of Seminole Canyon State Historical Park. The Southern Pacific railroad remains the primary industrial artery, stitching together small outposts like Langtry, Pumpville, and Comstock across the arid borderlands. Human presence is sparse, concentrated near these rail stops and the U.S. 90 corridor, while the backlands are marked by isolated crossings and named gaps like Bakers Crossing and Dead Mans Pass. The emergence of the Amistad National Recreation Area signals a shift toward conservation and public use in a region historically dominated by ranching and the railroad.
