About this map

Robbers Cave State Park dominates the southern reaches of this survey, where the Rough Canyon and Maline Flats transition into the heights of the San Bois Mountains. The landscape is a study in extraction and natural geography, as numerous gas wells and a strip mine are interspersed among landmarks like Tucker Knob and Shoe Mountain. Transportation history is clearly etched into the terrain by an old railroad grade that skirts the northern boundary near Quinton.

In the northeast, the settlement of Lewisville and its associated Lewisville Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The importance of local water resources is evident through the presence of Quinton City Lake, Coblentz Lake, and Lake Wayne Wallace, which serve the small communities and recreational areas like Youth Camp No 2 tucked away near the legendary Robbers Cave.
