About this map

The Nolichucky River winds through the heart of this landscape, its path marked by a series of named shoals and islands including Howard Shoals, Blaines Shoals, and Cane Island. The river serves as a central corridor for the surrounding communities of Chuckey, Rheatown, and Limestone. This area of Greene County is characterized by a dense network of country roads, such as Old Stage Rd and Old Jonesboro Rd, which connect long-established settlements and family-named landmarks like Jordan Knob and Quaker Knobs.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of small rural hubs such as Dotsontown and Philadelphia. Significant local markers include the Remine Cem, Union Chapel, and the Hensley Airpark. The presence of the Norfolk Southern railroad line through Afton and Chuckey illustrates the enduring importance of rail transport to the region's small-town economies. The map also highlights natural water features like Horse Creek Spring and Seaton Spring, which have historically anchored local settlements.
