About this map

Newtonville serves as the central settlement in this area of West Alabama, situated near the intersection of several county roads where the borders of Fayette, Pickens, and Tuscaloosa counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sipsey River, which flows through a network of creeks and branches including Savage Creek, Davis Creek, and Bear Creek. Notable elevations like McCracken Mtn and Savage Mtn rise above the river valley, marking the local topography.

Genealogists will find this 2024 survey particularly valuable for its density of rural burial sites. Numerous cemeteries are preserved here, such as Zion Chapel Cem, Old Shepherd Cem, and Pilgrim Rest Cem, many of which are linked by historic routes like Palestine Rd and Canaan Rd. This network of family-named landmarks and small water bodies like Freeman Lake and Mitchum Lake provides a clear view of the longstanding community structure in this corner of the state.
