2022 Map of Novice West

About this map

The headwaters of S Fork Jim Ned Cr and N Prong Hords Cr define this landscape where Runnels and Coleman counties meet. At the northeast corner, the small community of Novice is oriented around W Commercial Ave and the intersection of FM 1770 and FM 702. The surrounding rural territory is a network of ranch roads and significant water management features, including Novice City Lake, Daniels Lake, and the large Soil Conservation Service Site 12ei Reservoir. For local history and genealogy, the map identifies the Atoka Cem and Crews Cem, providing precise locations for these rural burial grounds. Notable natural landmarks like the Blue Gap and several springs, such as Willow Spring and Pecan Spring, highlight the importance of water sources in this dry Texas landscape.
