1939 Map of Mosheim

About this map

The Southern railroad line anchors the development of Greene County as it cuts across the landscape, connecting the village of Mosheim and the settlement at Midway. This agricultural and rural industrial hub relies heavily on the winding courses of Lick Creek and Little Chucky Creek, which provided the necessary water power for local operations like Hull Mill. The interior is dotted with a dense network of nineteenth-century social institutions, including numerous rural schools such as Gethsemane Sch and New Bethel Sch, alongside country churches like Big Spring Ch and Hartman Ch. The presence of the Andrew Johnson Highway indicates the area's transition into the early automobile era, while older family and community markers like Susong Cem remain central to the local geography. The map provides a detailed view of the Greene County topography just before the mid-century period, capturing the intersection of rail, road, and river life.
