About this map

The town of Novice sits in the northeastern corner of this Coleman County landscape, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its water resources and ranching history. Multiple reservoirs and natural catchments, including Novice City Lake, Coker Lake, and Daniels Lake, dot the terrain, illustrating the critical importance of water management in West Texas. The land is drained by a network of seasonal waterways such as S Fork Jim Ned Cr and Hords Cr, which wind through a landscape characterized by topographic breaks like Blue Gap.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Atoka Cem and Crews Cem, alongside historic natural landmarks such as Willow Spring, Jim Ned Spring, and Pecan Spring. The presence of the Williams Oil Field indicates the area's industrial ties to the energy sector. A dense network of county roads, including Masterson School RD, connects these scattered settlements and homesteads to the village of Novice.
