About this map

Elgin serves as the primary hub of this Comanche County landscape, situated where local roads meet the arterial highway. The town is surrounded by several burial grounds, including Elgin Cem, Saint Anns Cem, and Elgin Memorial Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. To the west, the sprawling waters of Lake Ellsworth dominate the topography, creating a jagged shoreline defined by numerous inlets such as Fulton Arm, Goodin Arm, and Hasenbach Arm.

The presence of Edgewater Park and Treasure Island within the reservoir suggests a transition toward recreation and residential development along the waterfront, with streets like Waterfront Dr and Fisherman Dr serving the lakeside community. Away from the water, the terrain rises toward Frisco Ridge and is drained by smaller watercourses like Ninemile Beaver Cr and Tony Cr. Large agricultural tracts and scattered ponds, such as Duck Pond and Menard Pond, reflect the enduring rural character of the region outside the growing center of Elgin.
