New Market (Location Key)

New Market is apparently a hamlet in Yoknapatawpha County. Gavin Stevens, a county official, goes there in The Town to attend a "supervisor's meeting on some more of the drainage canal business" (268). "Some more" seems to connect with an earlier reference to the "squabble over a drainage tax suit" (181) in Wyott's Crossing, so we have located New Market near that other location. But New Market does not appear in any other fiction, so we have no clear evidence as to where Faulkner imagined it to be.
