1956 Map of New Market
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
New Market serves as a central hub in this mid-century Indiana landscape, where the agricultural character is defined by a dense network of country cemeteries and small rural settlements. The topography is marked by several significant waterways, including the winding Sugar Creek and Rattlesnake Creek to the north, which contrast with the engineered profile of Lake Holiday. Revision data from the late 1970s highlights modern additions such as the Grain Bins at the edge of the village, illustrating the evolving grain-handling infrastructure that supports the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks, such as Weir Cem, Galey Cem, and Wasson Cem, peppered across the townships of Ripley, Union, and Brown. To the northeast, the Crawfordsville Municipal Airport indicates the regional expansion of transportation beyond the traditional road and rail corridors.
