About this map

Saint James and the surrounding farmland of southern Greene County are defined by a complex network of creeks and river bends. The Nolichucky River meanders across the center of the terrain, creating significant landmarks like Cochran Bend and Linebaugh Bend, while providing the site for named river crossings including Love Bridge and Allen Bridge. The geography is shaped by numerous islands and shoals, such as Jones Island and Hendersons Shoals, which historically influenced local navigation and settlement patterns.

Upland from the river, small communities like Walter Crossroad, Oak Hill, and DeBusk anchor the rural landscape. Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial heritage is found at the Meadow Creek Mill along the banks of Meadow Creek. The map also documents local genealogy through sites like Mount Olive Cemetery and family-named hollows and valleys, including Franklin Hollow and Evans Valley, providing a detailed view of the Greene County countryside in the early 21st century.
