About this map

Purmela and South Purmela sit within a landscape of carved creek valleys and prominent uplands in Coryell County. The area's topography is defined by the winding course of Cowhouse Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Honey Creek, Bee Creek, and Camp Branch. These watercourses have shaped the terrain, leaving behind distinct elevations such as Culp Mountain, McCluskey Mountain, and Bagget Mountain in the southeast portion of the quadrangle.

Rural life is anchored by small settlements and family landmarks, including the communities of Arnett and King. Local history is preserved at the Smith Cemetery, located near the junction of FM 932 and County Road 178 West. The road network, comprising a mix of Farm to Market roads and named ranch routes like Bowen Ranch Road, reflects the agricultural and ranching character of this Central Texas region during the mid-2010s.
