2019 Map of Weeks Settlement

About this map

Indian Hills and the rural crossroads of Mattox anchor this 2019 survey of Newton County, Texas. The landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including the prominent Big Cow Creek and Little Cow Creek, which carve through the wooded terrain near Twin Hills. This modern topographic study reveals a mix of family-named landmarks and long-established rural infrastructure. Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds, such as Bay Springs Cemetery and Hardy Cemetery, tucked away from the primary county roads. The northern section is marked by the Scrappin Valley Airport, while Roundtree Lake provides a notable water feature in the southwest. The prevalence of private roads and county routes like Weeks Chapel Road illustrates the modern connectivity of this timbered region in East Texas.
