About this map

The Nolichucky River winds through this Greene County landscape, its course marked by numerous named shoals and islands such as H Earnests Shoals and Cane Island. The 2011 survey reveals a settlement pattern tied to the Norfolk Southern railway and a network of rural roads like Old Stage Rd and Davy Crockett Rd. Communities such as Rheatown, Dotsontown, and Chuckey are central to the map, with several serving as local postal hubs, including the Chuckey Post Office and Afton Post Office.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Glaze Cemetery and Painter Cemetery. The varied terrain is defined by features like Chestnut Ridge and Quaker Knobs, while the agricultural character of the era is evidenced by the numerous branches and creeks, including Big Limestone Creek and Horse Creek, that feed into the river valley.
