Lampasas River Hamilton County Bluffs Cache — Hamilton County

Lost Treasure TX • Hamilton County County
Description
Southern Hamilton County legend of outlaw loot buried in Lampasas River limestone bluffs — where the river marks the county's southern ranching frontier.
Historical Notes
Hamilton County is drained by the Leon, Lampasas, and Bosque rivers; many deep stream valleys are bordered by limestone cliffs that abut flat divides. The Lampasas River forms part of the county's southern boundary with Lampasas and Coryell counties. Central Texas treasure guides describe bluff caches along the Lampasas wherever Reconstruction-era banditry and open-range ranching overlapped. Related Temple-area entries document separate Bell County Lampasas River variants northeast of Hamilton County. Coordinates approximate Lampasas River bluff country in southern Hamilton County. Respect private property and Corps-managed lands downstream.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
