About this map

Gouldbusk anchors the southern portion of this Coleman County landscape, where the local road network centers on Main St. To the north, the small settlements of Mozelle and Shields are connected by farm-to-market roads and a system of county routes that traverse the drainage basins of Bull Creek and Dry Creek. The area is defined by its agricultural water management, evidenced by several large reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 18 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 20 Reservoir.

Evidence of the region's ranching and farming infrastructure is prominent, with Johnson Lake providing a significant water source near the center of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of seasonal creeks like Camp Creek, which cut through the open country. This survey provides a clear look at the rural Texas layout of the early 21st century, showing how modern transportation routes like FM 1026 follow the historic patterns of these small community centers.
