About this map

Lake Leon dominates the northern reaches of this Eastland County landscape, where the waters of Colony Creek are held by a dam near the Lone Cedar Country Club. The 1960s terrain is a mix of agricultural plots and petroleum exploration, evidenced by numerous Oil Well and Gas Well sites scattered throughout the hinterlands. In the southern half, the small settlement of Kokomo serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Nash Creek.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Providence Cem, Gregg Cem, Fredonia Cem, Alameda Cem, and Simpson Cem. The transport network includes the M-K-T railroad line cutting through the southwest corner and a major Pipeline corridor. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Leon River and notable heights like Round Mountain, providing a clear view of the rural Texas economy as it transitioned into the late twentieth century.
