The population steadily declined from some five hundred to nothing, meaning a ghost town, though the 2000 [[census]] placed the count at fifty, those living away from the town itself. When the Hicks-Cobb Store closed in 1966, the town died. There are four Texas Historical Commission markers outside the old store dedicated to (1) the community of Medicine Mound, (2) the Hicks-Cobb store, turned into a museum by Potts, (3) a [[WPA|Works Progress Administration]] sanitation project from the 1930s, and (4) a pioneer cemetery south of Medicine Mound believed to have only nine graves.<ref name=comanche/>​
