2022 Map of Richards
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The community of Richards anchors this part of east Texas, where the local economy and landscape are shaped by the sprawling timberlands of the Sam Houston National Forest. This 2022 survey captures a rural environment marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Bays Chapel Cem, Longstreet Cem, and Walnut Ridge Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways like Lake Creek and Flagtail Creek that cut through the wooded forest tracts and ranch lands. In the western portion, the landscape transitions into established agricultural areas such as Sanders Ranch Rd, while the eastern half remains largely dedicated to the national forest. Small roads like County Road 233 and FM 1486 Road provide the primary access through these timbered uplands and creek bottoms.
