About this map

Cowhouse Creek winds through this central Texas landscape, where the rural character of Coryell County is defined by its drainage networks and scattered family-named settlements. The unincorporated community of Pidcoke serves as a primary focal point, situated near the Pidcoke Cem and a local Youth Camp. The mapping reveals a transition in land use along the southeastern edge, where the Fort Hood Military Reservation encroaches upon traditional ranching and farming lands.

Water sources are vital to this terrain, with the confluence of Bee House Creek, North Bee House Creek, and South Bee House Creek providing a detailed look at the local watershed. Further west, the small settlement of Slater stands among numerous seasonal watercourses like Perriman Creek and Patterson Branch. The presence of several labeled Borrow Pits suggests localized road-building and resource extraction during this mid-century period.
