About this map

The Comyn settlement occupies a central position in this mid-1960s landscape, situated between the crossing of the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad and the Leon River. This survey documents a transitional era for the region, where rural life revolved around local landmarks such as Pleasant Home Ch and the neighboring Roch community. The southwestern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Proctor Reservoir, which reshaped the geography near the confluence of Mill Creek and Sowells Creek.

Industrial and infrastructure footprints are evident through the Pumping Sta at Comyn and a local Landing Strip, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line cuts through the southeastern corner toward the Erath and Comanche County border. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds, including Hanton Cem, Proctor Cem, and Cow Creek Cem, scattered among the drainages of Walker Branch and Walnut Creek.
