2016 Map of Newport

About this map

The border of Clay Co and Jack Co divides this North Texas landscape, where the small community of Newport sits at the intersection of FM 1288 and Deweber Rd. To the south, the settlement of Truce anchors a region characterized by the branching drainages of the Crooked Creek system. The map reveals an extensive water management network, featuring several large catchments such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and its counterparts, sites 2, 3, and 3b. These reservoirs are integrated into a terrain of low ridges, including the prominent Galliher Mtn. Genealogists will find the Newport Cem located near Gray Lake east of the main townsite. The rural road network, including family-named routes like Lowell Scott Rd and McAlister Ln, provides a clear view of the area's agricultural and ranching layout.
