<1> If you're interested in how the shape of Texas' counties, including Coryell, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. <2> The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. <3> The elevation is an estimate for the area around Flat - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. <4> ZIP Codes have been created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Flat). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Flat or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). <5> While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. <6> A copy of their list with background information can be found at:
