About this map

The dense drainage networks of East Texas define this landscape, where Little Cow Cr and Big Cow Cr carve through the piney woods of Newton County. The area’s rural character is anchored by small, family-associated landmarks and burial grounds like Bay Springs Cem, Hardy Cem, and Wells Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. While largely defined by timberland and topography, the map shows modern developments such as the Indian Hills settlement and the Scrappin Valley Airport in the northern reaches.

Transportation throughout this timber-rich region relies on a network of county roads, including Weeks Chapel Rd and Indian Hill Rd. The map tracks numerous smaller tributaries such as Wet Hurricane Cr, Dry Hurricane Cr, and Belcher Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that influenced original land parcels and local settlement patterns. Small water bodies like Roundtree Lake and distinctive terrain features such as Twin Hills further distinguish this section of the Deep East Texas woods.
