2016 Map of Noodle

About this map

Noodle is situated in a high-plains landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and a rigid grid of ranch roads. This West Texas settlement anchors a region where the Jones Co and Taylor Co boundary line bisects the southern portion of the map. The drainage network is particularly distinctive, with Noodle Cr winding vertically through the center, eventually joined by Bitter Cr and Little Bitter Cr as they flow across the rolling contours. The infrastructure of the mid-2010s is represented by a network of Farm-to-Market roads, including FM 1812, FM 126 S, and FM 605, which connect various rural homesteads and ranching operations. The terrain is relatively open, marked by subtle elevation changes that guide the flow of Sweetwater Cr in the northwest corner, illustrating the ranch-country geography of the Texas Rolling Plains.
