About this map

Trickham sits at the intersection of FM 1176 and FM RD in this central Texas landscape, where the boundary between Coleman Co and Brown Co bisects a network of rural county roads. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Mukewater Creek and its many tributaries, such as Hay Cr and Boggy Cr, which drain the surrounding cattle country. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds, including Rice Cem, Brooks Lee Cem, and Smith Cem, often situated near early settlement sites and stream crossings.

Water management is a central feature of the modern landscape, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir along W Fork Clear Cr. These sites, along with landmarks like Deer Hollow, illustrate the region's long-standing focus on erosion control and ranching infrastructure. A vast web of numbered county roads and ranch-to-market routes connects the isolated homesteads and pastures that define the area today.
