About this map

Lake Spence dominates the geography of this Coke County landscape, where the Colorado River was impounded to create a massive reservoir. The shoreline is punctuated by numerous inlets and small drainages including Salt Creek, Paint Creek, and Pecan Creek. To the west, the small settlement of Edith serves as a focal point near the Paint Creek Cemetery, offering a tangible link for genealogists studying the area's early residents.

Industry and infrastructure define the southern and northern reaches of the quadrangle. The Robert Lee Dam and nearby Robert Lee Airport anchor the southeast corner, while the I A B Oil Field to the north reflects the region's energy production history. Distinctive landmarks like Elm Bend and the winding course of Yellow Wolf Creek provide clear markers of the natural terrain surrounding the reservoir's varied shoreline.
