1936 Map of Greeneville

About this map

Greeneville serves as the focal point of this 1936 survey, showing the town's dense street grid and rail connections during the era of New Deal expansion. The map captures a moment of significant federal presence, notably the Andrew Johnson National Cem and the CCC Camp No 4492 located just east of the city center. The landscape is characterized by a network of rural schools and family-named landmarks like Hardin Chapel and Gass Bridge Sch, illustrating the dispersed settlement patterns of Greene County. To the east, Tusculum and Tusculum College are clearly defined along the Andrew Johnson Highway. Along the southern edge, the Nolichucky River meanders near industrial and utility markers including a Flume Mill and Pumping Sta, while the Southern Railway provides the primary industrial artery through the valley.
