2010 Map of New Market

About this map

The farming communities of New Market and Danville anchor this Highland County landscape, where the headwaters of the White Oak Creek and Rocky Fork systems converge. The area is exceptionally dense with small family and congregational burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Cemetery, Dunns Chapel Cemetery, and three separate Fenner cemeteries. This pattern of small, scattered plots suggests a long history of family homesteading and independent church congregations in the early settlements of Hoagland and Shackleton. Local landmarks like Horner Hill and Calebs Hill rise above the drainage of Dodson Creek, while agricultural operations like Steele's Orchard continue the region's rural character. The map also documents a network of township roads that connect historic locales such as Russell and Fairview with the surrounding orchards and fields.
