About this map

Newcastle serves as the central hub of this North Texas landscape, where the street grid is clearly defined by historical names like Madison Ave and Washington Ave. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant water bodies and drainages that shape the local geography, including Whiskey Creek Reservoir and the northern reaches of Lake Eddleman. To the south, the Brazos River meanders across the territory, joined by tributaries such as Jim Anderson Cr and Brier Br.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites documented, including the Newcastle Cem, Belknap Cem, and the remote Indian Mound Cem. These sites, along with family-named routes like Bryan Farm Rd and Cadenhead Rd, reflect the deep-rooted agricultural and ranching heritage of Young County. The map also captures smaller features like White Water and Rattlesnake Cr, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Texas plains.
