About this map

The boundary between Hamblen and Greene counties runs through this part of East Tennessee, anchored by the transportation corridor of the Norfolk Southern railroad and Interstate 81. Significant elevation changes define the northern landscape, where Raleigh Mountain and Bays Mountain rise above Bulls Gap. This pass has served as a critical transit point for generations, connecting the ridge-and-valley settlements.

Rural life is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and small crossroads such as Mohawk Crossroad and Skinner Crossroad. The southern reaches of the map near Warrensburg are characterized by more intricate drainage patterns along Lick Creek and its many tributaries, including Pond Creek and Skipper Creek. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites and rural congregations, including Wisecarver Cemetery, Crosby Cemetery, and Bibles Chapel, which reflect the long-standing community structure of the region.
