In frontier Texas, Mayfield's Country Store was the only stagecoach stop between Ozona and Comstock, Texas about 80 miles which was a major route west. It is now abandoned and there are no towns or stops between the two towns.

You are finding some real gems Emile. I love everything about this, its so charming. Love all the cities and how far they are from there. Gorgeous colors, love all the things to see, its fun. The only thing that is sad about it is the place is all boarded up. Always hate to see that. #11433435

Patrick Rouzes February 09, 2016

I agree with Frank- sad to see this site abandoned, Emile. Exceptional clarity, detail, tones & comp. #11433458

This is a very cool discovery, Emile. Too bad it ended up in disrepair. It must have been a busy beehive "back in the day". #11433577
