Throughout the UNITED STATES, there are five combinations in which a Jasper County is directly bordering a Newton County. These combinations occur in the states of Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas and are depicted in the maps below. Sergeants John Newton and William Jasper were soldiers who fought valiantly in the American Revolutionary War, so it is fitting that Jasper and Newton counties would be situated right next to each other. Other instances of Jasper County are located in Illinois, Iowa, and South Carolina; another instance of Newton County is located in Arkansas.

I would love to use your Texas county map (Newton, Jasper) for a genealogy project Im working on .. Can I have permission to copy .. I will cite your blog in footnote.
Hi Barbwire,
You definitely have my permission to use the map! I am intrigued (and curious) to know if your project is a website, book, etc. If you could share some more details in a comment or email (Feedback page), that would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
