2023 Map of New Market

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Highland County is defined by the winding tributaries of the South Fork Dodson Creek and East Fork White Oak Creek. This modern survey reveals a region deeply rooted in its 19th-century settlement patterns, particularly evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds. From Old Dutch Cem to the multi-part Fenner Number 3 Cem, these sites are scattered across the rolling terrain near small crossroads like Hoagland and Shackleton. The village of New Market serves as a southern anchor, centered around landmarks such as the Presbyterian church and Baptist Cem. To the north, Horner Hill and Pea Ridge offer significant elevation changes, while the outskirts of Hillsboro begin to encroach on the northeastern quadrant, marking the shift from rural homesteads to more concentrated development.
