2024 Map of Newburg

About this map

Newburg sits at a crossroads of high ridges and narrow valleys along the Franklin and Lawrence County line. This landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and the rugged drainage basins of Little Bear Creek and Cedar Creek. Much of the southern and central portion is occupied by the William B. Bankhead National Forest, where the terrain drops into steep features like Coffin Hollow, Denton Hollow, and Stillhouse Hollow. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including over a dozen burial sites such as Macedonia Cem, Kimbroughs Chapel Cem, and the Byler Ridge Road Cem. The map illustrates a rural interior where winding routes like Old State Rte 24 and Russellville Rd connect isolated homesteads and country churches, providing a clear record of the area's contemporary settlement patterns and topography.
