2022 Map of Scranton

About this map

The upper reaches of the S Fork Leon River wind through this section of the Texas landscape, carving a drainage pattern across the border of Callahan and Eastland counties. This rural area is characterized by small, dispersed settlements like Scranton and Nimrod, which appear as quiet crossroads defined by their local history. A notable concentration of burial sites, including the Scranton Cem, Nimrod Cem, and Pisgah Cem, offers significant evidence of the region’s early families and pioneer-era church communities. The northern edge of the map features the southern outskirts of Cisco and the Gregory M Simmons Memorial Airport, where the terrain begins to transition from agricultural creek bottoms toward more developed transportation corridors. Smaller waterways like Dinner Br feed into the river system, supporting the ranching and farming operations that have long sustained these West Texas communities.
