About this map

New Market serves as the focal point of this local landscape, positioned near the Norfolk Southern rail line and the New Market Post Office. The area is defined by a historical mining presence, with the North Friends Station Mine, Young Mine, and Grasselli Mine scattered across the undulating terrain. Family history is well-represented through numerous burial grounds such as McBee Cemetery, Hodges Cemetery, and the Youngs Memorial Cemetery.

Water plays a critical role in the geography, featuring Lost Creek flowing through the Lost Creek Golf Course and the industrial remnants of French Mill and Rucker Dam on Rucker Lake. To the south, Bays Mountain and Sourwood Mountain rise above the agricultural valleys where Newman Hollow and East Hodges are situated. The extensive road network, including Nances Ferry Rd and W Old AJ Hwy, connects these rural communities and their local landmarks like Wooten Chapel.
