2019 Map of Noodle

About this map

Noodle sits atop a subtle divide in Jones County where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the Texas Rolling Plains. The community is the primary focal point of this rural survey, situated near the intersection of several farm-to-market roads and county routes. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Noodle Cr and Sweetwater Cr, which carve through the dry surroundings alongside Bitter Cr and Little Bitter Cr. These waterways dictate the local geography, influencing the placement of historical throughways such as Ranch Rd and Harwell Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary rural grid where large agricultural tracts are bisected by long-established county roads, reflecting a landscape that has maintained its ranching character well into the 21st century.
