THE TWR WAS CLOSED AT DEP TIME OF XA50. COMS ON UNICOM 122.95 AND CTAF 118.5 WERE MADE PRIOR TO TAKING THE RWY. WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT TFC AND WERE BOTH LOOKING OUTSIDE AS WE TAXIED ONTO RWY. THE TKOF WAS MADE WITH NO CONFLICTING TFC. PREPARING FOR OUR NEXT DEP; WE WERE ADVISED SOMEONE RPTED OUR FLT DEPARTED ON RWY 35R. THE PROB AROSE DUE TO: UNFAMILIAR ARPT; NO LIGHTED RWY SIGNS; CHKLISTS AND OUTSIDE SCANNING FOR OTHER ACFT IN THE TFC PATTERN. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO PREVENT SUCH OCCURRENCES: BACKLIGHT RWY SIGNS OR MARKINGS; STOPPING ON THE RWY TO CHK ALIGNMENT; ENLARGEMENT OF THE ARPT DIAGRAM ON THE CHART FACE TO FURTHER ILLUSTRATE THE DEP AREA OF RWY 32 AND RWY 35R.
