About this map

Jerico Springs anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape where the boundaries of Barton, Cedar, and Dade counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creeks, including Horse Cr and Bear Cr, which carve through the rural countryside. Small, established settlements like Newport and Sylvania serve as local hubs, connected by a grid of county roads such as State Rd D and Co Line Rd.

For family historians, the map identifies several distinct burial sites that mark the area's heritage, including German Cem, Greenfield Cem, and Round Prairie Cem. The presence of Don Henley Lake and named branches like White Oak Br and Maybee Br highlights the importance of water management in this agricultural region. The map reflects a modern view of these long-standing communities, preserving the spatial relationship between the creek bottoms and the upland farmsteads.
