About this map

Newburg sits at a crossroads in Franklin County, where the terrain transitions into the high ridges of Macedonia Mountain and Eckerberger Mountain. This 2011 survey documents a landscape of deeply etched hollows and creek branches, including the curiously named Coffin Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow. Small family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout the hills, from the Sylvester Cemetery in the north to the Duboise Cemetery near the southern settlement of Union.

Water management is a central feature of the modern local topography, evidenced by structures such as Town Creek Watershed Dam Number 11 and the Sand Pit New Hope Church Dam. The network of county roads, including Russellville Rd and Co Hwy-34, links these rural communities, following the natural contours of the land around Little Bear Creek and McNair Creek. This map offers a precise look at the 21st-century rural layout of this corner of Alabama, preserving the names of the small settlements and landmarks that define it.
