About this map

Silver occupies a central position on this Coke County landscape, where the energy industry and rural traditions intersect. The presence of a Gas Plant and several industrial roads, such as Oil Plant Rd and Pvt Rd Gas Plant, highlights the region's mid-century reliance on petroleum resources. This industrial footprint is balanced by deep-rooted local history, marked by the McKenzie Cem and Cedar Hill Cem, which serve as permanent records of the area's early families.

Water and topography define the southern and eastern edges of the sheet, where the Colorado River feeds into Lake E V Spence. The terrain rises sharply from the river basin toward prominent heights like Jackson Mtn, Stepp Mtn, and Silver Peak. These landmarks, along with intermittent drainages like Little Silver Creek and Willmo Sand Cr, provide a framework for understanding the hard-scrabble ranching and energy-producing territory of West Texas.
