1984 Map of Noodle

About this map

The small settlement of Noodle serves as the focal point for this rural landscape along the boundary of Jones Co Taylor Co. This mid-1970s land-use pattern is defined by a network of drainage ways including Noodle Creek and Bitter Creek, which cut through the agricultural terrain. The map captures the industrial and infrastructural development of the era, from the energy-related Pumping Station and Oil Field to a local Landing Strip. A Gravel Pit near the town center and a Trailer Park further south reflect the local economy and housing patterns during this period of West Texas history. The topography is further shaped by hydraulic engineering, such as a Dike situated near Sweetwater Creek, indicating efforts to manage water flow in this semi-arid region.
