About this map

Comyn sits at the center of this 1960s landscape, illustrating the intersection of infrastructure and industry in rural Texas. The map highlights a significant Pumping Sta and a network of pipelines that crisscross the terrain, reflecting the energy-driven economy of the era. The western edge is dominated by the waters of Proctor Lake and the Leon River, where designated areas are noted as subject to controlled inundation.

Transport history is preserved through the paths of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Texas Central rail lines. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including Cow Creek Cem, Hanton Cem, and Proctor Cem, which anchor the map's small settlements like Roch. These features, along with numerous family-scale wells and gravel pits, document the land-use patterns in this region along the border of Erath and Comanche counties.
