2016 Map of Hartburg

About this map

The Sabine River forms a complex, winding boundary between Texas and Louisiana on this 2016 survey, defining the eastern edge of Newton County. The landscape is characterized by its low-lying, water-logged terrain, where named features such as Blacks Prairie, Bull Cove, and Maple Gap indicate slight variations in elevation and vegetation within the marshy bottomlands. Water is the dominant force here, with Adams Bayou and Little Cypress Cr feeding into the intricate wetland systems of Nips Marsh and Negro Marsh. In the southern portion of the sheet, the community of Hartburg is situated near the junction of several local routes, including Stephens Cutoff and Co RD 4181. To the north, the settlement of Deweyville sits just west of the river's main channel, while Owens Lake and Black Marsh Slough mark the shifting course of the waterway over time.
