2013 Map of New Hope

About this map

The New Hope Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this Franklin County quadrangle, situated just north of the community of New Hope. The area is defined by the convergence of large-scale water management and industrial extraction, with the western reaches of Monticello Reservoir and the expansive Lake Cypress Springs shaping the residential and recreational layout of the terrain. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Snodgrass Cem near the western edge and Rock Hill Cem to the east, which suggest the deeper roots of rural settlements like Majors and Hopewell. The road network, including Farm Road 3122 and FM-115, connects these older hamlets with newer developments and seasonal locations like Tidewater Camp. Waterways such as Stouts Cr and Andys Cr provide the natural drainage for a region that transitioned from traditional farming into a hub for energy production and reservoir-based living.
