1969 Map of Newburg

About this map

Newburg sits along the southern edge of this landscape, positioned near the winding course of the South Leon River. The area in the late 1960s was defined by its water management and agricultural drainage, with Mercer Creek and its many tributaries, including Moose Creek and Horse Creek, carving through the terrain. The presence of Lake Comanche and Lake Eanes, the latter featuring a Filtration Plant and Lake Eanes Park, underscores the transition toward recreational and municipal water infrastructure. Local heritage is centered around rural landmarks like Shiloh Ch and South Leon Ch, along with several small Cem sites that serve as primary markers for genealogical research in this part of Comanche County.
