About this map

Bays Mountain and the high ridges of the Hawkins County line define the northern boundary of this Greene County landscape. The topography transitions from steep, wooded summits like Stony Lump and Stone Mountain into a fertile basin of small rural clusters and family-named knobs. This agricultural and residential pattern is anchored by Baileyton, situated along the historic Horton Highway.

Local history researchers will find a dense concentration of smaller named settlements, including Locust Springs, Holland Mill, and Walkertown, alongside numerous churches and cemeteries like Union Temple Church and Carter Cemetery. The drainage network, dominated by Lick Creek and its many branches such as Union Temple Creek, dictates the placement of these early communities and mills. Family names are deeply embedded in the landscape, appearing on landmarks like Marshall Knob, Joe Knob, and Babbs Knob.
