About this map

Newton serves as the focal point for this Southeast Texas landscape, situated at the junction of several critical regional roads. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, most notably Big Cow Creek and Caney Cr, which drain through the timbered hills of the Piney Woods. This 2019 survey provides contemporary documentation of rural settlements like Pine Grove and Friendship, offering a precise record of local infrastructure and land divisions at the Jasper and Newton county line.

Family and local history researchers will find the locations of Big Spring Cem and Wilkinson Cem helpful for genealogical work. The area is also characterized by numerous small bodies of water, including Walker Lake, Club Lake, and the distinctly named Javalina Lake. The southern portion of the map transitions into more saturated ground near Long Marsh, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the East Texas bayous and creek systems.
