About this map

The Nolan Co Coke Co boundary bisects this West Texas landscape, marking the transition between the rolling uplands of Nolan and Coke counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate drainage system that shapes the local geography, with Antelope Cr and Eagle Cr flowing across the northern reaches. To the south, the headwaters of Bouzier Cr, Mountain Cr, and Messbox Cr carve deep into the plateau, creating a network of ridges and draws characteristic of the region's ranching country.

Rural infrastructure is represented by a sparse network of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM 1170 and Co RD 314. Local names like Hamilton Rd, Ross Rd, and Bird Ln suggest the deep roots of family landholdings in this area. This topographic record highlights the relationship between the natural hydrology of Gobbler Cr and the few roadways that navigate the elevation changes along the county line.
