2000 Map of Newburg

About this map

The settlement of Newburg serves as a central point in this late-twentieth-century study of the borderlands between Franklin and Lawrence Counties. The landscape is defined by the expansive William B Bankhead National Forest and the Black Warrior Wildlife Management Area, where steep terrain like Macedonia Mountain and Eckerberger Mountain transitions into the fertile Tennessee Valley Area. A dense network of community landmarks provides significant value for local history research, including numerous country churches such as Sylvester Ch and Gray Rock Ch, alongside family-named burial grounds like Kimbrough Cem and Templeton Cem. Evidence of the region's industrial footprint is visible at the Strip Mine near Denton Hollow, while winding waterways like Mud Creek and Troublesome Creek dictate the rural road patterns of Russellville Road and Moulton Road.
