About this map

New Market serves as the primary hub in this corner of North Alabama, situated where the lowlands meet the rising elevations of the Cumberland Plateau outliers. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Mountain Fork and Rodgers Br, flowing south toward the Flint River watershed. Small farming communities and crossroads such as Hillsboro, Plevna, and Fairview are scattered throughout, connected by a network of rural routes like Winchester Rd.

Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Graveyard Hill Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and the uniquely named Bloucher Ford Cem. To the east, the topography shifts dramatically toward Backbone Mtn and Cedar Gap Mtn, while natural water sources like Mint Spring and Fuqua Spring provided essential resources for early settlers in this border region near the Tennessee state line.
