2013 Map of Richards

About this map

Richards serves as the central hub for this portion of Grimes County, where a grid of streets including Sand St, Lynn St, and Hickory St meets the rural road network. The surrounding landscape is defined by a dense web of watercourses, most notably Lake Cr and Caney Cr, which drain the timbered terrain. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the local genealogy markers of the area, specifically the David Chapel Cem in the north, Bays Chapel Cem near Bays Cemetary Rd, and Fairview Cem to the west. The layout of the region is further shaped by the numerous creek branches like Kidhaw Br and Bay Br, which cross beneath farm-to-market roads and county routes that have long connected these rural communities.
