About this map

Baileyton stands at the center of this 2019 survey, where the ridges and valleys of Greene Co meet the Hawkins Co line. The landscape is defined by the northeast-to-southwest orientation of the Appalachian foothills, with Bays Mountain and Stone Mtn framing a network of narrow hollows and creek beds. These valleys supported a dense pattern of small settlements and family-run operations, as evidenced by Holland Mill, Babbs Mill, and the cluster of communities such as Newmansville and Ottway.

Modern transport via the Horton Hwy and Baileyton Rd follows these historic corridors, passing local landmarks like Caney Creek Cem and Casteel Springs. The map reveals how local topography dictated the placement of early schools and roads, such as Old Brown Mountain School Rd, tucked into the shadows of Brown Mtn. From the heights of Joe Knob to the bottomlands of Lick Creek, this survey documents the persistent rural character of this corner of East Tennessee.
