About this map

Big Cow Creek and its many tributaries, including White Oak Creek and George Lewis Branch, define the hydrology of this Newton County landscape. The settlement of Bleakwood serves as a central point, situated near the intersection of several regional routes such as F-M 363 and Old Newton Hwy. Smaller communities and junctions like Howards, Harrells, and Adsul are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a network of rural roads including Adsul Rd and Sod Buster Rd.

Family history is preserved in several burial grounds, notably the Odom Cemetery in the north and the Biloxi Cemetery further south. The presence of Log Town Pond and several named branches like Whitman Branch suggests a landscape where water management and timber history likely played significant roles. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure before significant modern expansion, capturing the placement of homesteads and local access roads like Fox Hunters Club Rd.
