About this map

The agricultural valleys of Highland County are defined by a network of family farms and creek systems in the early 21st century. High ground like Horner Hill and Pea Ridge overlooks a landscape dominated by historic rural settlements such as New Market, Hoagland, and Shackleton. The area's genealogical history is remarkably well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, ranging from the numbered Fenner sites to the Old Dutch and Mt Zion cemeteries.

Commercial and agrarian life is anchored by named properties like Smith Acres Farm and Lucky Lane Farms, while the road network connects the village of Danville with the western edge of Hillsboro. Waterways including Rocky Fork and the multiple forks of White Oak Creek provide the drainage for these fertile lands, illustrating the persistent relationship between the local hydrology and the placement of farms such as McKenzie Farms and the Barber Farm.
