About this map

Newcastle serves as the focal point of this Weston County landscape, centered around the Weston County Courthouse and a dense network of streets like W Main St and S Summit Ave. The town’s history is etched into the surrounding terrain, where local burials are found at Greenwood Cem and Old Ridge Cem. Evidence of the region's industrial ties to the earth appears at the Coal Mine located near Salt Cr in the eastern hills.

The topography is defined by numerous seasonal drainages and canyons, including Cave Spring Canyon to the north and a series of draws like Morris Draw and Spencer Draw that carve through the high plains. Waterways such as Stockade Beaver Cr and Blacktail Cr dictate the rural layout, while the newer residential character of Hill View Heights contrasts with the older ranching and mining roots suggested by the surrounding draws.
