2020 Map of Newell

About this map

Newell and the surrounding rural communities of Randolph County are centered on the winding path of the Little Tallapoosa River as it moves toward the Georgia border. This upland terrain is defined by a dense network of county roads connecting small settlements like Woodland, Gold Ridge, and Pine Hill. The area retains a traditional layout of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including the Antioch Cem, Mount Gilead Cem, and Old Cool Spring Cem, providing significant detail for those tracing local lineages. Waterways such as Cohobadiah Cr and Wolf Cr feed into the river, crossed by notable local spans including Lamar Bridge and Shelton Bridge. The map captures the quiet, dispersed settlement pattern of east-central Alabama, where small crossroads like Morrison Crossroads serve as the primary landmarks in a landscape defined by creeks and ridges.
