2019 Map of Democrat

About this map

The settlement of Democrat anchors this central Texas landscape, where the borders of Comanche, Brown, and Mills counties converge. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment defined by livestock ponds and erosion control measures, including numerous engineered features such as Blanket Cr Watershed Number 16 and the Soil Conservation Service Site 18 Reservoir. Genealogists will find the Democrat Cem and Dudley Cem located just north of the community center, near the Carlisle Airport. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Turkey Peak Mtn, Spur Mtn, and Long Pompey Mtn, with drainage provided by the meandering Pompey Cr and Dry Blanket Cr. These topographical features, along with natural passes like Beards Gap and Brushy Gap, have historically dictated the placement of local thoroughfares such as Ranch Rd 573 and FM 590.
