About this map

Newtonville and Jerusalem anchor this part of western Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sipsey River and its numerous tributaries like Blakely Cr and Bear Cr. The area is characterized by low-lying ridges including Savage Mtn, McCracken Mtn, and Gurley Hughs Mtn, which rise between the creek valleys.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries marking the settlement history of Fayette and Pickens counties, including Pilgrim Rest Cem, Old Shepherd Cem, and Zion Chapel Cem. The road network, composed of routes like Center Rd and Palestine Rd, connects these remote burial sites and small communities. Water features such as Freeman Lake and Mitchum Lake sit near the triple-county junction where Fayette, Pickens, and Tuscaloosa counties meet.
