About this map

The boundary between Coke and Tom Green Counties cuts across this West Texas landscape, where the small community of Tennyson and the settlement at Orient anchor the local geography. The terrain is defined by a series of named elevations, including the prominent Mt Margaret, Kiser Mtn, and Deadman Hill. Water sources in this arid region are primarily seasonal creeks such as Cedar Cr and Crows Nest Cr, alongside the specifically noted Hidden Spring.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the Mule Creek Cem, located near the base of Brooks Hill. The road network, including the eponymous Tennyson School Rd, Saynor Ln, and the distinctive Poverty Canyon Rd, reflects a history of ranching and rural development. The presence of Orient Pass and Sierra Trl further illustrates how the local topography has dictated travel and settlement patterns throughout this corner of the Edwards Plateau transition.
