2011 Map of Curtin

About this map

Pass Creek carves a central corridor through this portion of Douglas County, dictating the placement of early settlements and transportation routes. The small communities of Comstock, Curtin, and Anlauf are situated along this waterway, reflecting a settlement pattern tied to the low-lying valley floor between prominent peaks. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Comstock Cemetery and the Curtin Post Office, both of which serve as anchors for the area's social history. The surrounding landscape is defined by a series of significant elevations, including Wards Butte, Redford Butte, and Spike Buck Butte. Numerous tributaries such as Pheasant Creek, Ward Creek, and Lees Creek feed into the main drainage system, illustrating a complex hydraulic network. The presence of Lake Diane near Curtin adds a distinct water feature to an otherwise stream-dominated topography, while various Bureau of Land Management roads indicate the intersection of public land management and local infrastructure.
