2022 Map of Duster

About this map

Beattie and Duster anchor this Comanche County landscape, defined by a network of ranch roads and small-scale water management. The terrain is crisscrossed by several prominent waterways, including Copperas Cr and Martins Cr, which feed into numerous reservoirs such as Keith Reservoir and Welch Lake. This 2022 survey reveals a landscape deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by a high density of rural cemeteries serving the scattered communities. Family and location-named sites like Turkey Creek Cem, Sand Hill Cem, and Martins Creek Cem are distributed across the quadrangle, often situated near the intersections of local connectors like FM 587 and Ranch Rd 588. The prevalence of soil conservation sites, including Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir, illustrates the modern emphasis on water retention in this agrarian region of North Central Texas.
