About this map

Mosheim and the surrounding Greene County countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways and early Tennessee transportation corridors. The Southern railroad runs parallel to the Andrew Johnson Highway, linking the settlements of Midway and Mosheim through a landscape dotted with country churches like Big Spring Ch and Brown Springs Ch. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions, from the Glenwood Sch in the south to Carter Chapel near the northern border, reflecting a well-established agrarian community.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Little Chucky Creek and Lick Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of local industry and social hubs is scattered throughout, including Hull Mill on Grassy Creek and a Community Center near the Sinai Ch. Revisions from 1971 add modern layers like a Trailer Park and Sewage Disposal Plant, contrasting the older settlement patterns of the 1930s.
