About this map

De Leon serves as the primary hub of this Comanche County landscape, where the street grid transitions into a vast network of water resources and rural farm-to-market roads. The town is defined by its methodical layout, featuring streets like N Texas St and N Bell St, while the surrounding countryside is marked by numerous family-named reservoirs including A G Lee Lake, Skaggs Lake, and Jerry Solomon Lake. These water bodies, along with the Sabana River, illustrate the vital role of water management in this agricultural region.

Further south, the small community of Downing sits near the upper reaches of Proctor Lake, a major geographic feature in the southeastern corner. Historical interest is centered on the Ebenezer Cem, a lone landmark representing the area's early burials. The map detail highlights the importance of connectivity through routes like Hwy-587 and Hwy-2318, which link the various lakes and smaller settlements like Pounds to the municipal center.
