2016 Map of Newcastle

About this map

The town of Newcastle sits as the central hub of this North Texas landscape, where a grid of residential streets including Texas Ave and Broadway Ave meets the surrounding ranchland. Water defines the local geography, from the winding path of the Brazos River in the south to the significant catchments of Newcastle Lake, Whiskey Cr Reservoir, and Lake Eddleman. For those tracing family histories in Young County, the presence of the Belknap Cem and the more remote Wray Cem provides essential coordinate data for local ancestral sites. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal drainages such as White Water, Rattlesnake Cr, and Salt Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced land use and road placement, including routes like Indian Mound Rd.
