2016 Map of Copperas Cove

About this map

Copperas Cove sits at the intersection of three counties in Central Texas, where the terrain transitions from the hills of Sevenmile Mtn and Taylor Mtn toward the Lampasas River valley. This 2016 survey highlights the area's growth along the US Highway 190 corridor, connecting the expanding urban center of Copperas Cove with the neighboring community of Kempner. The landscape is defined by its gaps and points, such as Ogletree Gap and Starkie Gap, which historically channeled movement through this rugged portion of the Edwards Plateau. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds preserved across the landscape, including Smith Cem and Ethridge Cem, while the southern reaches of the map track the winding course of the Lampasas River and its tributaries like Burnet Br.
