2016 Map of Democrat

About this map

Democrat sits at the convergence of ranching roads and rolling Texas terrain where the boundaries of Comanche, Brown, and Mills counties meet. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, including Turkey Peak Mtn in the north and Long Pompey Mtn to the south. Historically significant landmarks such as the Dudley Cem and Democrat Cem provide clear points of reference for genealogists tracing local families in this rural corridor. The area's water management is notably sophisticated, featuring a network of flood control structures like Blanket Cr Watershed Reservoir Number 19 and several Soil Conservation Service sites. This 2016 survey also documents the aviation history of the region with the inclusion of Carlisle Airport and traces the winding course of Pompey Cr and the S Leon River.
