About this map

Robert Lee serves as the focal point of this Coke County landscape, situated along the north bank of the Colorado River. The town layout in the early 1960s includes the High Sch, Athletic Field, and the Court House, reflecting its role as a regional civic center. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a series of intermittent watercourses such as Machae Creek and Mountain Creek, the latter of which is dammed to form the Mountain Creek Reservoir.

Industrial activity is evident across the quadrangle, with the Munn Oil Field and Mc Cutchen Oil Field marking the brushy uplands. Notable landmarks like Hayrick Mountain provide topographical relief to the north, while infrastructure such as the Fish Hatchery and several Gravel Pits indicate local resource management. Genealogists may find the local Cem and specific elevation markers like BM 1877 useful for pinpointing family land interests in this Texas ranching and oil country.
