1947 Map of Newburg

About this map

Newburg sits as a primary junction in the northwestern corner of this territory, where the Russellville Road and Moulton Road meet. The landscape is defined by the transition into the William B Bankhead National Forest, characterized by numerous hollows and ridges such as Eckerberger Mtn and Macedonia Mtn. This postwar survey reveals a deeply established network of rural community centers, particularly evident in the high density of country churches and small family cemeteries that dot the drainages of Bear Creek and Troublesome Creek.
