2012 Map of New Boston

About this map

New Boston serves as the central hub of this Bowie County landscape, illustrating a classic shift in Texas settlement patterns from the original town site of Old Boston toward the railroad-aligned northern district. The map captures a high density of genealogical landmarks, including New Boston Cem, Rea Hill Cem, and McWright Cem, which are scattered among the rolling hills of the region. Distinctive terrain features like Glass Hill and Adams Hill overlook a network of creek systems, most notably Rice Cr, Big Cr, and Red Bayou. A unique historical point of interest is the Boston Chalybeate Springs, suggesting the area's legacy of mineral water attractions. The infrastructure is defined by a dense web of county roads and farm-to-market routes, such as FM-1840 and FM-992, which connect these established communities and rural homesteads.
