2010 Map of Noodle

About this map

Noodle sits at the heart of this Jones County landscape, where the agricultural grid of West Texas meets a late-twentieth-century industrial footprint. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably Sweetwater Creek in the northwest and Noodle Creek, which snakes southward toward the local oil fields. The distribution of infrastructure reveals the region's economic drivers, as farm-to-market roads like FM 1812 and FM 126 S connect the scattered homesteads to active extraction sites. Three distinct petroleum production areas are documented here: the Noodle Oil Field, the Pitzer Oil Field, and the Ball Kuehn Oil Field. This survey captures the rural character of the community, punctuated by a series of county roads such as Co RD 480 and Co RD 444 that segment the plains into large-scale ranching and drilling parcels.
