About this map

Pidcoke serves as the central hub of this Texas landscape, situated at the confluence of regional thoroughfares like FM 580 and FM 116. The topography is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, most notably Bee House Creek and Cowhouse Creek, which carve through the terrain to create distinctive features like Waddle Hollow. This drainage pattern suggests a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow, where historical movement followed the path of least resistance through these creek valleys.

For those researching family history in Coryell County, several burial sites provide vital spatial context, including Pidcoke Cemetery near the settlement and the more distant Slater Cemetery and Union Valley Cemetery. The road network, comprising a mix of farm-to-market roads and numbered county routes like County Road 142, connects these remote sites, illustrating the spread of rural homesteads across the local prairies and creek beds.
