2019 Map of Strawn East

About this map

Strawn, Mingus, and Thurber anchor this West Texas landscape along the border of Palo Pinto, Eastland, and Erath counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Wolf Mtn, Coal Mine Mtn, and Italian Hill, which reflect the region's industrial and geological character. Historically significant for its coal production, the area near Thurber was once a major company town, and the map shows traces of this legacy through sites like Steam Shovel Mtn and the Thurber Cem. Water features such as Palo Pinto Creek and Lake Mingus provide local landmarks among the many family-named cemeteries, including Hutchins Cem and Davidson Cem, that offer valuable points of interest for genealogical research in this rural corridor.
