2010 Map of Democrat

About this map

The small settlement of Democrat serves as the focal point for this rural Mills County landscape, where the terrain is defined by distinct limestone uplifts and a complex network of water management features. Prominent heights like Turkey Peak Mountain and Long Pompey Mountain rise above the drainage basins of the South Leon River and Pompey Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates a region heavily shaped by the Blanket Creek Watershed project, including numerous numbered reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 19 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 15 Reservoir. These structures, along with Meyer Lake and Aldridge Lake, indicate a landscape modified for erosion control and water storage. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Democrat Cemetery and Dudley Cemetery, which remain key landmarks for genealogists alongside the transit corridors of FM 218 and FM 573.
