About this map

The Sabine River forms a winding natural border between Newton County, Texas, and Louisiana, anchoring a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and low-lying prairies. The settlement of Deweyville sits near the river's edge, characterized by a concentrated grid of local streets like June St and Sherry St that give way to the surrounding Negro Marsh. Further south, the community of Hartburg is situated at a junction of county roads, including Stephens Cutoff and Owen-Burton Rd.

This territory is a patchwork of distinct environmental zones, from the open reaches of Blacks Prairie and Bull Cove in the west to the dense marshlands of Maple Gap and Nips Marsh central to the quadrangle. Genealogists will find the locations of Deweyville Cem and King Cem preserved here, while the presence of oxbow features like Owens Lake and Black Marsh Slough highlights the dynamic movement of the river system through this coastal plain region.
