1960 Map of New Market

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor cuts across the southwestern corner of this Highland County landscape, passing through Danville and providing a transport link for the surrounding agricultural townships. The area is marked by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and three separate Fenner No 2 Cem locations, which offer significant data points for genealogical research in New Market and Liberty townships. Near the northern border, the Oldaker State Wildlife Area stands in contrast to the nearby Gravel Pits, illustrating the mixed land use of the mid-20th century. Local landmarks like the Hillsboro Airport and small settlements such as Hoagland and Shackleton define the rural character of the region as it transitioned into the late 1950s and early 1960s.
