1939 Map of Parrottsville

About this map

Parrottsville serves as a focal point for this landscape where the Nolichucky River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Greene and Cocke counties. The area is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evidenced by a dense network of country churches like Luther Memorial Ch, Oven Creek Ch, and the Ottinger Shelton Chapel. These landmarks, along with family-named sites such as the Ottinger Cem, suggest a settled agricultural society where local life centered around the river bends and numerous creek branches.
