2012 Map of Newport

About this map

Newport sits at the intersection of Texas State Highways FM-1288 and FM-2127, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country and ranching landscape of Clay County. The map documents a rural infrastructure shaped by water management, with numerous reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir situated along the drainage of Crooked Creek. Local genealogy and community history are anchored at the Newport Cem near Gray Lake, while the small settlement of Truce lies to the south. The terrain is relatively subtle, though Galliher Mountain provides a distinct high point overlooking the network of county roads such as W Bugscuffle Road and Frog Hollard Road. This survey reflects the modern era of Texas land use, where traditional nameplates like Big Sandy Creek persist alongside contemporary conservation projects.
