About this map

Mosheim and the surrounding Greene County countryside are defined by the winding drainages of Lick Creek to the north and Little Chucky Creek to the south. This agrarian landscape is crisscrossed by the Norfolk Southern rail line, which links several historic communities including Midway, Rader, and Mount Pleasant. The map reveals a dense network of family-named roads and landmarks, such as Hull Mill and Tipton Spring, that speak to the region's long-settled character.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several local burial grounds and congregations, including Hawkins Cem, Susong Cem, and Weems Chapel. The terrain rises from the creek bottoms toward Big Ridge in the center of the quadrangle, while the eastern edge captures the fringes of Greeneville. From the isolated community of Marvin in the northwest to Dulaney in the south, this survey provides a modern inventory of a landscape deeply rooted in East Tennessee history.
