1984 Map of Noodle NE

About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River winds across the center of this Jones County landscape, defining the topography of a region dominated by drainage networks and rolling plains. Surveyed in the late 1970s and edited in the early 1980s, the map reveals a rural Texas environment where water sources dictated the patterns of land use. Significant tributaries including Sweetwater Creek and Noodle Creek feed into the river system, while Thompson Creek marks the northeast corner of the quadrangle. The lack of concentrated settlements in this specific area highlights a landscape of dispersed ranching or agricultural activity, where geographic landmarks like river forks and creek confluences serve as the primary points of orientation for local history and land ownership research.
