2012 Map of Gouldbusk

About this map

Gouldbusk and Mozelle anchor this rural Coleman County landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management features defines the terrain. The presence of multiple Soil Conservation Service Site 18, Soil Conservation Service Site 17 Reservoir, and 20 Reservoirs highlights the region's agricultural reliance on controlled water resources, particularly surrounding drainage basins like Bull Cr. These man-made structures exist alongside natural features such as Johnson Lake and Camp Cr, illustrating a hybrid landscape where ranching and conservation efforts meet. The survey details a grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM-1026 and FM-2131, which connect the small settlements of Shields to the wider cattle country of West Texas. This layout suggests a resilient rural economy organized around family-owned acreage and the vital management of seasonal creek beds like Dry Cr.
