2022 Map of Bead Mountain

About this map

Bead Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Coleman County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage creeks and modern water management. The area is heavily marked by the Soil Conservation Service reservoir system, with numerous numbered sites like Site 7 and Site 8 designed to manage runoff into local waterways. These tributaries, including Home Creek, Panther Creek, and Elm Creek, carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of rural roads such as Farm to Market Road 503. For those researching local families and early settlements, the presence of the Valera Cemetery in the north and the Voss Cemetery in the south provides vital geographic anchors for tracing the lineage of nearby communities.
