2019 Map of Jewett

About this map

Jewett serves as the primary hub of this Leon County landscape, where the convergence of the Union Pacific rail line and local thoroughfares like FM 39 S and FM 1512 define the local geography. The surrounding countryside is marked by a complex network of tributaries including Brushy Cr and Little Keechi Cr, which drain the rolling terrain between small settlements like Newby and Concord. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, such as Moores Cem, McMillin Cem, and Burleson Cem. Aviation markers also dot the area, including Miles Field and the Morris Lazy K Ranch Airport, reflecting the rural Texas tradition of private airfields integrated into large ranching operations. The presence of Swindler Pond and Brushy Lake further illustrates the importance of water management in this agricultural region.
