2022 Map of Newport

About this map

The small community of Truce serves as a central point in this rural Jack County landscape, where the boundary with Clay County runs across the northern reaches. The area is defined by the complex drainage of North Fork Crooked Creek and the East Fork Crooked Creek, which carve through the terrain near the prominent Galliher Mtn. This 2022 survey documents a countryside maintained by soil conservation efforts, evident in features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir. Local genealogy and history are preserved through several documented burial sites, including the Newport Cem near Gray Lake, the Truce Cem, and the family-named Swaggerty-Garrett Cem. The map illustrates a network of rural roads such as W Bugscuffle Rd and Frog Hollar Rd that connect isolated homesteads and pastures.
