About this map

The dense creek networks of rural Greene County define this 1963 landscape, where the Perry Co Greene Co line divides a territory of scattered settlements and small timber-country churches. Local spiritual and family life is anchored at sites like Zion Rest Ch and Nazareth Ch, which is accompanied by the nearby Nazareth Cem. The settlement of Sand Hill sits near the confluence of Sand Hill Creek and Beetree Creek, serving as a focal point for the northeastern corner of the map.

Transport and topography follow the winding path of Gaines Creek, which gathers numerous tributaries including Little Gaines Creek and Yellow Jacket Creek. The presence of several scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit suggests the early 1960s extraction economy that operated alongside traditional farming. Researchers will also find the small northern community of Brewer and isolated markers like Frisco Cem providing clues to early family landholdings.
