2022 Map of Sulphur Springs SE

About this map

Sulphur Springs anchors the northwestern corner of this Hopkins County landscape, where the urban grid gives way to a network of rural county roads and agricultural creek bottoms. The southeastern outskirts are defined by a series of distinct local communities, including Martin Springs and Reilly Springs, each centered around its namesake cemetery. This area is heavily dissected by small waterways and drainage basins, including Gideon Cr and Running Cr, which feed into several local bodies of water like Jennings Lake and Berry Lake. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large Restlawn Memorial Park to smaller historic sites like Shooks Chapel Cem, Union Cem, and Gamblin Cem. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where residential developments like Austin Acre Rd meet the expansive rural tracts that characterize the Texas Blackland Prairies.
