About this map

Big Cow Creek and Thickety Cr dominate this corner of Newton County, where the Piney Woods landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and family burial grounds. The settlement of Bleakwood serves as a central hub, connected by the Old Newton Hwy and F-M 363. The geography here is notably marshy in the northeast, where Big Marsh and Long Marsh lie near the Sand Ridge Cem.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small, named cemeteries throughout the area, including Lewis Chapel Cem and the McFarland - Wilson Cem. Farther south, the landscape transitions toward the community of Adsul near Trout Cr. The map preserves the specific placement of these rural landmarks and local roads like Sandridge Cemetary Rd, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of this Southeast Texas timber region.
