2012 Map of Newsome

About this map

Newsome and Scroggins anchor this pocket of Northeast Texas, where a dense network of county roads connects rural crossroads and family settlements. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Brushy Cr, including the S Fork Brushy Cr and Briary Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain near Stivers Hill. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds distributed across the countryside, including Monday Cem, Clearwater Cem, and Hepsibah Cem, providing critical geographic context for local families. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Pineview sits near the headwaters of S Lilly Cr and the Elwood Club Lake recreation area. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern road infrastructure, such as Farm Road 1448 and FM 115, that has evolved over decades of rural agricultural and residential development.
