2010 Map of Novice East

About this map

Silver Valley and the eastern edge of Novice anchor this landscape in Coleman County, where the plains are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and local infrastructure. The terrain is marked by the Bachelor Prong and Rough Creek, which feed into numerous water management structures including the Soil Conservation Service Site 33 Reservoir and Santa Fe Lake. This area reflects the essential Texas intersection of ranching and energy, evidenced by the Burroughs Oil Field located central to the quadrangle. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds such as Rough Creek Cemetery, Silver Valley Cemetery, and Mountview Cemetery. To the east, the elevation rises toward Robinson Peak, a distinct topographical feature overlooking the drainages of Turtle Bayou and Indian Creek. The map provides a look at the rural road system, from farm-to-market routes like FM 702 to the named White Chapel Rd.
