About this map

Sulphur Springs anchors the southeastern corner of this Hopkins County landscape, where the town's grid meets the expansive Lake Sulphur Springs. The geography is defined by a dense network of tributaries including White Oak Creek and Horse Pen Cr, which drain the undulating terrain north of the city. This area is characterized by rural transit corridors like FM 2285 and FM 2653 that connect scattered agricultural plots and family landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved at Gafford Chapel Cem and Pleasant Grove North Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the community’s early settlement patterns. Further east, Saint Lukes Missionary Baptist Cem sits near the winding course of Black Cr. The map also captures several smaller water bodies, such as James R Beck Lake, illustrating the water-rich environment that supports the region's cattle and farming operations.
