About this map

Pecan Mott serves as the central point in this Coke County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Texas hill country define the local geography. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal waterways and vital water sources, including Buffalo Spring, Houston Springs, and Mule Creek Spring. These springs historically provided essential water for livestock and early travelers in an otherwise arid environment.

Elevation changes are marked by prominent features such as Butterfield Canyon and Spring Canyon, which influence the path of intermittent streams like Crows Nest Cr and Bald Eagle Cr. The map details a sparse road network, featuring Mount RD and Sutton RD, which connect these isolated water sources and canyon lands. This 2012 survey illustrates how the placement of early settlements and ranching infrastructure remained tethered to the natural hydrology of the central Texas plains.
