2019 Map of Punkin Center

About this map

Punkin Center and Mungerville anchor this Dawson County landscape, illustrating the persistent grid of the Llano Estacado. The area is defined by a dense network of local roads including Co Rd 9 and Co Rd 13, which serve the expansive agricultural tracts typical of this part of West Texas. Historically significant landmarks such as Fairview Cem provide a focal point for genealogical interest in an otherwise sparsely populated region. The natural topography is subtly interrupted by the path of Sulphur Springs Draw, which cuts diagonally across the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This drainage feature represents the primary break in the flat terrain, where seasonal water once influenced local settlement patterns and cattle ranching. Modern connectivity is maintained by Highway 137 and several ranch-to-market style routes like Ranch Rd 1064.
