2019 Map of Hartburg

About this map

Hartburg and Deweyville anchor the eastern edge of Newton County, Texas, just across the state line from Calcasieu Parish. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sabine River and a dense network of water features including Little Cypress Cr, Black Marsh Slough, and the extensive Negro Marsh. This 2019 survey illustrates the low-lying coastal plain environment where distinct terrain features like Blacks Prairie and Bull Cove interrupt the wetlands. Local road networks, such as Sheppard Rd and Old Hwy 87, connect these small communities through the surrounding bayous. The hydrology of the region is notably intricate, with Adams Bayou and Owens Lake marking the transition toward the river valley. The proximity of the Texas-Louisiana border highlights the historical and geographic importance of the river as both a boundary and a corridor for the region's development.
