2010 Map of Nocona

About this map

Nocona serves as the focal point of this North Texas study, showcasing the town's grid and its proximity to the rising waters of Lake Nocona to the northeast. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Panther Creek and Greenbrier Creek, punctuated by prominent elevations such as Blue Mound and Benton Hill. A legacy of early settlement is clearly visible through the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Molsbee Cemetery, Robinson Cemetery, and Benton Cemetery. Water management is a significant theme of the era, illustrated by infrastructure such as the Leisure Lake Dam and the Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir, which reflect mid-century efforts to control local watersheds and create recreational spaces like Leisure Lake.
