2012 Map of Copperas Cove

About this map

Copperas Cove serves as the primary urban hub in this central Texas landscape, characterized by the winding path of the Lampasas River and its varied tributaries like Binnion Cr and Clear Cr. The topography is defined by notable elevations and passes such as Taylor Mtn, Ogletree Gap, and Starkie Gap, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and settlements. This survey provides significant genealogical value through the documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Kempner Cem, Browning Cem, Smith Cem, and Ethridge Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like Rattlesnake Point, offer a clear picture of the rural land use and historical occupation patterns that persist outside the expanding residential streets of the city. The network of county roads, such as Co RD-3300 and Big Divide RD, illustrates the transition from the concentrated grid of the town center to the more dispersed agricultural and ranching parcels of the surrounding terrain.
