About this map

The Lampasas River carves a winding path through the southern portion of this region, which sits at the complex junction of four Texas counties. The urban expansion of Copperas Cove dominates the northeastern corner, with modern street layouts reaching toward local landmarks like Copperas Point and Rattlesnake Point. To the west, the settlement of Kempner serves as a secondary hub near Taylor Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial sites scattered across the landscape, including Smith Cem and Ethridge Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent gaps and elevations, such as Ogletree Gap and Starkie Gap, which have historically influenced the movement of people and the placement of roads like Post Office Rd. Several creek systems, including Turkey Run and Clear Cr, drain into the Lampasas, defining the rural character of the land outside the main settlements.
