About this map

The Nolichucky River carves a winding path through this corner of Greene County, its flow managed by the Nolichucky Dam and supporting the waters of Davy Crockett Lake. The landscape is a mix of riverbottom shoals, such as Dinsmores Shoals and Allens Shoals, and the sharp topography of the Unaka Mountains foothills. Small settlements and crossroads like Whitesand, Hayesville, and Limestone Springs anchor the local geography, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the contours of the valley floors.

Evidence of early local industry and community life remains visible through landmarks like the Cove Creek Mill and Staunton Mill. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Price Cemetery, Rehobeth Cemetery, and Beersheba Cemetery. From the heights of Greene Mountain to the depths of Sherrill Cove, this 2011 survey records the enduring rural character of the Tennessee landscape.
