About this map

Bronte serves as the focal point of this Coke County landscape, where the intersection of state highways and local streets meets the agricultural and industrial character of West Texas. The town's layout is bordered by the Kickapoo Creek drainage system, including W Kickapoo Creek, Middle Kickapoo Creek, and E Kickapoo Creek. Energy production is a visible part of the economy, evidenced by the Rawlings Oil Field to the north and the Bronte Oil Field just southwest of the town center.

The rugged geography of the surrounding plateau is defined by distinctive landmarks such as Nipple Peak, Kickapoo Mountain, and the notable Panther Gap in the northwest. Water management is critical in this environment, shown through several designated reservoirs like Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir and the community-centered Old City Lake. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of Ft Chadbourne Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery, while family-named roads like Lasswell Road and Coalson Road provide further clues into the area's local heritage.
