 | | Robert Lee, the county seat of Coke County, is at the junction of State highways 158 and 208 and the confluence of Mountain Creek and the Colorado River, thirty-one miles north of San Angelo in the central part of the county. |
| | Cartledge and Harris pushed to move the county seat from nearby Hayrick to Robert Lee, arguing that Hayrick lacked an adequate water supply and was too far from the center of the county. |
| | A major recreational center for the area is the E. Spence Reservoir (formerly the Robert Lee Reservoir), two miles west of town, completed in 1970. |
