About this map

Mulberry Canyon and the high point of Chalk Peak dominate this Texas landscape along the border of Nolan and Taylor counties. The terrain transitions from the rugged breaks of Oaties Hollow in the west to the more level drainage basins of Noodle Cr and Stink Cr in the north. This geography has historically dictated the settlement pattern, with the small community of Grimes and the southern edge of Trent positioned near the rail-aligned corridor of Interstate 20.

Local history researchers will find the White Church Cem situated in the southeast, a common marker of earlier rural community centers that preceded modern road networks. While much of the area remains open ranch or farmland, the presence of named water sources like Sand Spring and Weaver Springs Cr suggests the vital importance of water access in this semi-arid environment, anchoring the small clusters of homes at Tesco and across the county line.
