2012 Map of Duster

About this map

The unincorporated community of Duster and the settlement of Beattie anchor this rural landscape in Comanche County, where a complex network of county roads connects family farms and ranches. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Copperas Cr and Martins Cr, punctuated by numerous reservoirs such as Keith Reservoir and the uniquely named Wolfe Pecanlands Lake Number 1. This 2012 survey illustrates a modern rural Texas environment where historical centers of community life remain visible through sites like the Soda Springs Community Hall. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Ninevah Cem, Turkey Creek Cem, and Copperas Cem, which are scattered throughout the region. The map also shows significant land management through several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, reflecting the agricultural priorities and water management strategies of this central Texas area.
