About this map

Richland Springs serves as the hub of this Central Texas landscape, where the street grid converges at the intersection of Old San Saba HWY and Park Ave. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Richland Springs Cem, Big Uncle Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Adams Cem. The northern reach of the township gives way to a rugged series of hollows and elevations, most notably the Shiloh Mtn Chain, Barnett Hill, and Locker Hill, which provide a distinct verticality to the landscape.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, shown through an extensive network of soil conservation sites and reservoirs. Significant features like the Lower San Saba Watershed Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir illustrate the engineered hydrology designed to manage drainage from Richland Springs Cr and Wilbarger Cr. To the north, the small settlement of Skeeterville sits amidst a web of ranch roads, while names like Hooten Hollow and Lick Hollow suggest a long history of family-named landmarks.
