About this map

Richland Springs serves as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape during the late 1970s, situated at the intersection of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and local ranching routes. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems like Richland Springs Creek and Lick Creek, which carve through prominent elevations such as Locker Hill and the Shiloh Mountain Chain.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of community life, including the Lakeview Community Hall and the settlement of Skeeterville. Religious and funerary heritage is preserved at Shiloh Church, Shiloh Cemetery, and Adams Cemetery. The industrial footprint of the era is evident through scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of the Cotton Belt Road, reflecting a landscape dedicated to both transport and resource extraction.
