1961 Map of New Market

About this map

Jefferson City and the surrounding Tennessee countryside are defined here by a mix of agricultural valley land and industrial extraction. The Southern Railway and Andrew Johnson Highway form a primary transportation corridor through New Market, passing by several active mining operations including the Grasselli Mine, Young Mine, and the North Friends Station Mine near the western edge. These industrial sites are contrasted by the rural landscape of the southern quadrangle, where Rocky Mountain and Shields Ridge rise above small communities like Piedmont and Willardtown. A historic French Mill stands along Dumplin Creek, signaling the persistence of older economic patterns even as large-scale tailings ponds expand near the city. This 1961 revision provides a clear record of local genealogy through numerous family-named landmarks and churchyards, such as Wooten Chapel Cem and Caldwell Cem, which are scattered throughout the valley floors of Lost Creek and Tuckahoe Creek.
