2010 Map of Punkin Center

About this map

Punkin Center and Mungerville anchor this West Texas landscape, defined by a rigid grid of county roads and ranch-to-market routes that reflect the area's agricultural organization. Located in Dawson County, the terrain is sparsely populated, with the Fairview Cemetery serving as a significant landmark for genealogical research. The layout of roads like Ranch Rd 829 and Co Rd 9 illustrates the systematic division of the land into large parcels characteristic of the Llano Estacado. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the quiet, expansive character of the region, where a few small settlements and scattered homesteads are connected by long, straight stretches of pavement and dirt. For those researching local family history or land use patterns, the map identifies specific junction points and rural road names that have remained largely consistent for generations.
