2018 Map of Newtonia

About this map

Newtonia sits at the heart of this Wilkinson County landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage network. The Buffalo River and Belmont Slough dominate the northern reaches, while several forks of the Thompson Creek system, including the Middle Fork Thompson Creek, carve through the southern sections. This 2018 survey reveals a territory where local history is preserved in numerous family-named burial grounds. From the Netterville Cem in the north to the Whitaker Cem near the state line, these small cemeteries are scattered along rural routes like Willie Neyland Rd and Bowling Green Rd. The presence of large-scale landholdings is suggested by labels such as the Judydahl Plantation Rd, while the area's agricultural and timber character is reflected in the sparse settlement pattern and winding creek-side roads.
