Newellton and the smaller settlement of Saranac sit within a landscape defined by the intricate hydrology of the Tensas Parish lowlands. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Routh Bayou, Cypress Bayou, and Noble Bayou, which wind through the township grids of t13n r12e and t12n r11e. Higher ground is found along Newells Ridge, where the Newell Cem is located, reflecting the historical pattern of placing cemeteries and homesites on the elevated natural levees to avoid the frequent inundation of the surrounding sloughs and lakes.
