About this map

Scranton and Nimrod anchor this survey of West Texas ranching country, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Leon River. The map documents a sparsely populated rural network connected by a web of county roads such as Co RD 130 and Co RD 145, illustrating the persistent agricultural character of Eastland County.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Mitchell Cemetery near the community of Mitchell, and Pisgah Cemetery located further south. Water sources like Dinner Branch and Dead Horse Creek carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of farmsteads and the orientation of thoroughfares like Mitchell Church Rd. This map reflects the enduring rural structure of the region in the early 21st century.
