2022 Map of Newsome

About this map

Scroggins and Newsome sit at the northern edge of this East Texas study, marking a landscape where four counties—Franklin, Wood, Camp, and Upshur—converge. The area is defined by a dense network of creek branches and springs, including Brushy Cr and the waters of S Lilly Cr flowing toward the southeast. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout these rural woodlots, from Clearwater Cem near the northern border to Mount Zion Cem in the south. The terrain rises slightly at Stivers Hill, while the local economy is mapped through a web of farm-to-market roads like FM 1448 and FM 115. Near the southern boundary, Elwood Club Lake provides a rare contained water body amidst the winding paths of Caney Cr and Duffy Br.
