2024 Map of New Lexington

About this map

The borderlands of Fayette and Tuscaloosa Counties are defined by a deeply dissected landscape of creeks and small family cemeteries. New Lexington serves as a central point in a territory where the North River and its tributaries, including Boone Creek and Binion Creek, carve through the terrain. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting numerous small burial grounds such as Hopewell Rosehill Cem, Unity Grove Cem, and Macedonia Cem. Local transportation is anchored by a dense network of named rural routes like Jones Mill Rd and Roxie Ridge Rd. The presence of the New Chapel Methodist Church and its associated cemetery highlights the importance of traditional community centers. Smaller water bodies like Poe Lakes and Barnett Lake offer evidence of local land use and hydrology within this corner of Alabama.
