2013 Map of Newcastle

About this map

Newcastle serves as the central hub of this Young County landscape, situated amidst a complex network of waterways and rural roads. The area is defined by the winding course of the Brazos River in the south and the significant presence of Lake Eddleman to the east. The landscape's agricultural and historical character is evidenced by numerous family and community landmarks, including Indian Mound Cem, Belknap Cem, and Wray Cem, which offer vital touchpoints for genealogical research. Water management is a prominent feature of the terrain, visible through the Whiskey Cr Reservoir and Newcastle Lake, alongside named tributaries like Jim Anderson Cr and Salt Cr. The grid of named rural routes, such as Stephens Ln and Bullock Rd, reflects the established land divisions of this Texas region in the early 21st century.
