About this map

The town of Cisco anchors the northeast corner of this West Texas landscape, where the agricultural plains transition toward the Callahan and Eastland County border. This 2016 survey highlights the sparse, rural nature of the region, defined by the winding course of the S Fork Leon River and its tributary, Dinner Br. The map provides significant detail for genealogists and local historians, pinpointing several country burial grounds including Mitchell Cem, Pisgah Cem, and Haskell Cem located near the southern boundary.

Small rural hubs such as Scranton and Nimrod serve as focal points for the network of farm roads and ranch roads, including Ranch Rd 1864 and Ranch Rd 569. The local transportation infrastructure is further represented by the Gregory M Simmons Memorial Airport north of the river. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and established ranching corridors that have shaped the development of this section of the Texas interior.
