1935 Map of New Market

About this map

New Market and the surrounding East Tennessee landscape are documented here during a period of transition as the Tennessee Valley Authority began its extensive regional infrastructure projects. The settlement of New Market serves as a central hub, situated along the Southern railroad line and the primary Andrew Johnson Highway. To the north, Friends Station and Bates Sch reflect the rural community structure of Jefferson County, while the southern reaches show the influence of industrial history through sites like Dinwoody Mill, Tate Mill, and French Mill. The topography is defined by the broad corridors of Rocky Valley and Dumplin Valley, separated by the heights of Bays Mountains. Local genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of numerous country churches and schools, such as Shrader Chapel Sch near the Jefferson and Sevier county line, and the Piedmont Cem.
