Fort Chadbourne is a former U.S. Army post and Butterfield Overland Mail stage stop, now preserved as a historic site rather than an active settlement.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nBlackwell, Pecan Mott, Shawville and the Edith townsite have no separate ZIP of their own and are served by the nearest post office town above.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nCoke County sits on the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau, where rolling limestone hills break down toward the Concho River valley. The Colorado River crosses the northeastern corner of the county, and Oak Creek Lake, formed by a dam on Oak Creek, supplies water to Robert Lee and San Angelo. Elevations run from roughly 1,700 to over 2,300 feet, and the terrain is mostly rangeland used for cattle and sheep grazing.<\/p>\n |
