2024 Map of Brownville

About this map

The Sipsey River meanders across this West Alabama landscape, defining the border between Pickens and Tuscaloosa counties. This area is characterized by scattered family-named cemeteries and rural congregations, such as the Mount Hebron Baptist Church and Spring Hill Cemetery in the north. The small community of Moores Bridge sits near the river's edge, while Brownville occupies the southeastern corner. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses feeding the Sipsey, including Turkey Creek, Buck Creek, and Dunn Creek. Local history is preserved in the names of landmarks like Phillips Mountain and the multiple burial grounds like New Doublebranches Cemetery and Sardis Cemetery that are found throughout the timbered hills and bottomlands.
