About this map

Noodle sits at the heart of this West Texas landscape, defined by a sparse but organized grid of ranch roads and oil production. The map illustrates a region where agriculture and energy extraction coexist, notably at the Cal-Tex Feed Yard and scattered petroleum sites such as the Noodle Oil Field. Waterways like Noodle Cr and Bitter Cr carve through the terrain, providing essential drainage for the surrounding ranchlands.

Infrastructure in this area is largely industrial and residential, including the Pitzer Oil Field and the emerging development at N Merkel Ests to the southeast. A network of Farm-to-Market roads, including Farm-to-Market Road 605 and Farm-to-Market Road 2660, connects the isolated ranching operations. This survey documents the modern character of Jones County, showing how the land remains partitioned for cattle and oil as of 2012.
