Dimmit County, Texas, Landmarks & Vanished Communities
The USGS no longer maintains its GNIS database so I've removed the links to it. You can copy and paste the Lat/Long into Google to get a map of the location. If you can fill in missing GPS coordinates or if you know of a location or vanished community not listed here, please let someone know. TXGenWeb is not responsible for incorrect GPS Coordinates.Feature Name | Type | Latitude, Longitude | Description | Source |
