1967 Map of Leaday

About this map

The confluence of the Concho River and the Colorado River serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, marking the intersection where Runnels, Coleman, and Concho counties meet. The winding riverbed dictates the local geography, surrounded by tributaries such as Gattling Creek and Grape Creek. The small settlement of Leaday is located near the river bend, anchored by the Leaday Cem and the nearby Gann Cem. These burial grounds and the scattered fence lines indicated by fine red dashed lines provide valuable data for genealogists tracking family landholdings in this rural area. The terrain transitions from the low-lying river plains to distinct elevations like Brushy Bluff, while industrial activity is limited to small-scale Gravel Pits along the creek beds.
