About this map

Blackwell sits at the intersection of the county line between Nolan and Coke counties, serving as a central hub for this rural Texas landscape. The town plan is clearly visible, with streets named after historic landmarks and regional geography like Alamo Ave, Del Rio Ave, and Nueces St. To the south, the sprawling waters of Oak Creek Reservoir dominate the terrain, featuring distinctive landforms such as the Gulf Peninsula, Humble Neck, and McDowell Point.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including the Blackwell Cem north of town and the Fort Chadbourne Cem near the southern edge. The area around Fort Chadbourne and Wiley Bluff reflects a landscape managed by water and conservation efforts, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir. Rugged natural features like Coxs Gap and numerous creek systems, such as Middle Kickapoo Cr and Eagle Cr, define the drainage patterns of this West Texas region.
