About this map

The settlement of Jamestown and the community of Farrsville anchor this 2016 survey of the piney woods and creek bottoms along the Jasper and Newton county line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, with Big Cow Creek winding through the center of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Lewis Gully and Caney Creek. To the north, Mattox sits near the headwaters of Yellow Bayou and Clear Creek, illustrating the dispersed residential patterns typical of this rural East Texas region.

A complex grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 1022 and Weeks Chapel Rd, provides access to the timbered terrain and smaller drainage basins of Martin Branch and Huff Creek. For those interested in local geography, the map reveals how historical land divisions and local topography have shaped the modern road network, maintaining a connection to old namesake landmarks like Melhomes Creek and Hackberry Branch.
