About this map

Richwoods and the surrounding high ground of Franklin and Washington Counties are documented in this 2012 survey, which highlights the area's transition from early industrial roots to modern rural residential patterns. Industrial history is anchored by the Edmonds and Wilcox Furnace and Mill site on the banks of Little Indian Creek. This location reflects the regional importance of mineral processing and milling that once sustained local settlements.

Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial grounds across the landscape, including Saint Stephens Cemetery, Sparks Cemetery, and Horine Cemetery. The map detail shows a network of named springs and small lakes, such as Pepermint Springs and Indian Rock Lake, which define the drainage basins for Arnold Creek and Maupin Creek. Smaller communities like Hurricane and Hensley are connected by a dense system of local roads that weave through terrain features like Hays Hollow.
