2022 Map of Talpa

About this map

The boundary of Runnels Co Coleman Co divides this West Texas landscape, where the settlement of Talpa serves as the primary community hub. Situated along a network of numbered avenues and streets like Galveston Ave and 4th St, the town is oriented around the local water supply at Talpa City Lake. The surrounding ranching and agricultural land is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, including Middle Mustang Cr, Hords Cr, and Turtle Neck Cr. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the centrally located Talpa Cem, the Herring Cem to the north, and Glen Cove Cem near the eastern margin. Modern water management is evident in the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir, which aids in controlling the seasonal flow of Spring Cr through the rolling prairie.
