About this map

Blackwell serves as the primary hub in this West Texas landscape, where the town grid is defined by streets like Alamo Ave and E Railroad Ave along the county line between Nolan Co and Coke Co. The area’s geography is dominated by the expansive Oak Cr Reservoir, a major water body featuring numerous named points and landforms such as Gulf Peninsula, Humble Neck, and Wiley Bluff.

South of the reservoir, the legacy of frontier life is preserved at Fort Chadbourne and its nearby Fort Chadbourne Cem. Genealogists can also trace family history through the Blackwell Cem and Ross Cem located near the headwaters of Ross Cr. The terrain is marked by distinctive crossings like Coxs Gap and the seasonal flows of Middle Kickapoo Cr and Kaiser Cr, which drain into the central reservoir system.
