2019 Map of Newcastle

About this map

The town of Newcastle sits atop a grid of streets including Kemp St and Broadway Ave, positioned north of the winding Brazos River. This 2019 survey of Young County shows a landscape defined by significant water management and rural burial grounds. The Whiskey Creek Reservoir and Newcastle Lake dominate the area just south of the town center, while the larger Lake Eddleman fills the southeastern portion of the map. Genealogical interest is centered on the Belknap Cem and the smaller Wray Cem located near Jim Anderson Cr. The surrounding terrain is dissected by numerous drainages such as White Water, Rattlesnake Cr, and Salt Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds into the Brazos. A network of rural roads, including Indian Mound Rd and Bryan Farm Rd, provides access to the ranching and farming tracts that characterize this North Texas region.
