1951 Map of New Market

Evidence of early land divisions is preserved in the marking of the Old Cherokee Boundary, which runs north-south through the eastern hills. The topography transitions from the valley floors of Hester Creek and Bethany Branch to the heights of Cedar Gap Mountain and Graveyard Hill. Family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Norris Cem and Petty Cem provide significant genealogical clues for researchers tracing the agrarian families of Madison and Lincoln counties.
