2009 Map of Nescatunga Creek North

About this map

Nescatunga Cemetery stands as a primary landmark in this sparsely settled corner of Comanche County, marking a site of genealogical importance in the prairie landscape. The area is defined by the complex drainage system of Nescatunga Creek and its major tributaries, including the West Branch Nescatunga Creek and East Branch Nescatunga Creek. These waterways, along with others like Sand Creek and Wildcat Creek, have shaped the rural infrastructure of the region, where roads follow the sections and creek beds. The drainage patterns shown here reflect the natural topography of the High Plains, where seasonal watercourses like Cave Creek dictate the layout of ranching and agricultural tracts. This 2009 survey preserves the exact location of family burial grounds and the orientation of local water-rights features at the start of the 21st century.
