About this map

New Market Post Office serves as a central hub for this rural Madison County landscape, where the Flint River and its numerous tributaries define the layout of long-established family farms and small communities. The area is dense with genealogical markers, featuring nearly twenty distinct burial grounds including the State Line Cemetery, Britton Cemetery, and Norris Cemetery. These sites are often found near original homesteads and small crossroads settlements like Fairview, Union Grove, and Hillsboro.

Water resources are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the Jimmy Johnston Lake and its accompanying Jimmy Johnston Lake Dam to the Milner Pond and various natural springs like Prater Spring. The terrain transitions into high ground at Cedar Gap Mountain and Graveyard Hill, while historical transit points such as Bloucher Ford on the Flint River suggest older patterns of travel before modern bridge crossings. The presence of Camp Macoba and numerous named hollows like Summers Hollow illustrates a landscape deeply tied to its physical geography and local history.
