Route description

State Route 61 travels through Alabama’s Black Belt region, perhaps the poorest area of the state. From its origin at Uniontown, the route passes through a sparsely populated region along a two-lane road in a general northward trajectory. The route takes a slight turn towards the northwest as it approaches its northern terminus at Greensboro.
