2020 Map of Newtonia

About this map

Newtonia sits at the heart of this Wilkinson County landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of waterways including the Buffalo River and Thompson Creek. The settlement pattern is defined by family-named routes and landholdings, visible in labels like Judydahl Plantation Rd, Coons Hill Rd, and Hiram McGraw Rd. This map is particularly significant for genealogists, as it meticulously records over a dozen family burial grounds distributed across the townships. From the Netterville Cem in the north to the Whitaker Cem in the southeast, these sites preserve the locations of early area residents. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous drainages, such as Jews Cr and Whitaker Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and the winding paths of rural roads like Ancil Cox Rd.
