2011 Map of New Market

About this map

New Market serves as the hub for this portion of northeastern Madison County, situated where the Mountain Fork and Rodgers Branch converge. The landscape is defined by its deep agricultural and genealogical roots, evidenced by the high density of family burial grounds such as Britton Cemetery, Hambrick Cemetery, and Steele Cemetery. Small, distinct communities like Plevna, Mint Spring, and Hillsboro are scattered across the terrain, linked by a network of rural roads that often follow the meandering paths of waterways like Hester Creek. Along the southern edge, the Flint River marks a significant geographic boundary near Bloucher Ford. The presence of features like Jimmy Johnston Lake and Milner Pond indicates a reliance on local water resources, while the naming of crossings like Steele Crossing and Fannings Crossing suggests a long history of established transit points through the valley.
