About this map

New Market serves as the central hub of this East Tennessee landscape, situated along a prominent transportation corridor where the local post office and several historic cemeteries, such as New Market Cem, anchor the community. The topography is defined by significant ridges and knobs, including Sourwood Mountain and Thomas Knob, which separate the various agricultural and residential settlements. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Dumplin Creek drainage, passing through Woolardtown and Piedmont.

Evidence of the area's rural heritage is found at the French Mill in Newman Hollow and numerous family-named burial grounds like Carter Cem and Grahl Cem. Modern land use is also visible, with the Lost Creek Golf Course and the Dumplin Field Airport showing how the valley's open spaces have transitioned. Water features such as Ault Lake and Little Tuckahoe Creek weave through the gaps, illustrating the drainage patterns that have long dictated the placement of homesteads and roads.
