About this map

The Newtonville community sits at the heart of this landscape where Fayette, Tuscaloosa, and Pickens counties converge. Defined by the meandering path of the Sipsey River, the terrain rises into distinct summits like Savage Mtn and McCracken Mtn to the north, and Gurley Hughs Mtn further east. This area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, reflecting generations of local settlement.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of these historic sites, from the Pilgrim Rest Cem and Palestine Cem in the north to the Shady Grove Cem and Gravlee Cem near the central crossroads. The network of rural roads, including Old Moores Bridge Rd and Hughes Rd, follows the ridges and creek valleys of Bear Cr and Beaver Creek, connecting the scattered farmsteads and cemeteries that define this rural Alabama interior.
