2011 Map of Newell

About this map

Newell and the small settlements of Uptonville and Mattox anchor this 2011 survey of the Charlton County landscape. The area is defined by a complex network of wetlands and hummocks, including Wilson Hammock, Sandy Island, and Cedar Hammocks. Transportation through these lowlands is facilitated by the rail line running through Cypress Siding and Burch Siding, alongside major local thoroughfares like Mizell Rd and Swamp Perimeter Rd. Historical land use is visible in the placement of the Winokur Lookout Tower and the Sand Hill Cemetery near the western edge. Hydrological features such as Spanish Creek, Little Spanish Creek, and Little Buffalo Creek wind through the terrain, separating named high points like Macks Island and Sweet Gum Island from the curiously named Trouble Valley.
