2016 Map of New Hope

About this map

Lake Cypress Springs dominates the central landscape of this Northeast Texas quadrangle, where the waters of Brushy Creek and Panther Creek are impounded. To the southeast, the map shows the upper reaches of Lake Bob Sandlin and the Monticello Reservoir, illustrating a region heavily defined by mid-century water management projects. Scattered around these reservoirs are the older foundations of the community, including small settlements like Hopewell, Majors, and Macon. Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks preserved in the record, such as Snodgrass Cem, Rock Hill Cem, and Bethel Cem. The road network, including Farm Rd 21 and FM 3122, connects these rural points across a terrain carved by numerous tributaries like Andys Creek and Stouts Creek.
