Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Moores Cross Roads, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Tennessee's counties, including Meigs, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Moores Cross Roads may originally have been Moore's Cross Roads. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Moores Cross Roads might be written as Moore Cross Roads.
