1940 Map of New Market

About this map

New Market and the surrounding Jefferson County countryside are defined by a mix of agricultural valley land and industrial activity in the years before World War II. The corridor along the Southern railroad and the Andrew Johnson Highway serves as the primary artery for the region, connecting Friends Station to the outskirts of Jefferson City. A significant Zinc Mine northeast of New Market highlights the mineral wealth of the area, while smaller industrial landmarks like Dinwoody Mill and Tate Mill dot the local waterways such as Lost Creek and Dumplin Creek.
