About this map

The rolling landscape of eastern Tennessee unfolds across the border of Greene and Washington counties, defined by a series of northeast-trending ridges such as Pyborn Ridge and Shed Ridge. This 2022 survey documents a rural mosaic of small settlements and family landmarks, where legacy communities like Jearoldstown, Graysburg, and Milburton are connected by a network of winding roads like Horton Hwy. The terrain is deeply inscribed with local history, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds including Hale Cem, Brown Cem, and the Pleasant Vale Cumberland Presbyterian Cem.

Hydrography such as Lick Creek and Sinking Creek carve through the valleys, supporting the agricultural character of areas like Happy Valley and Bone Valley. The map highlights a persistent pattern of highland farming and valley settlement, from the Gap of the Knobs to the Quaker Knobs. Small aviation facilities, including Kraschenbern Airport and Roach Farm Airport, suggest a modern layer of infrastructure over this traditional Appalachian landscape.
