1967 Map of New Lexington

About this map

The Fayette County and Tuscaloosa County boundary line bisects this landscape of winding creeks and small rural congregations in the late 1960s. New Lexington serves as the central hub, surrounded by a dense network of local institutions like Etteca Sch, New Hope Ch, and Campground Ch. The map reveals a highly localized social geography, where numerous family-named landmarks such as Willingham Cem, Patterson Cem, and Simmons Cem are situated near the headwaters of Barbee Creek and Boone Creek. To the east, the North River meanders through the terrain, while the western portion is defined by the drainage basins of Davis Creek and Binion Creek. This survey provides a precise record of the road network and settlement patterns before modern development altered the rural character of the region.
