2013 Map of Ewing

About this map

Ewing and its surrounding mountain gaps define this portion of Lee County near the state line. The landscape is split between the agricultural valley floor and the high ridges of the Cumberland Mountains, where industrial remnants like the Black Star Coal Camp and Alva sit along Puckett Cr. Early river-based commerce is evident at Kesterson Mill and Cowan Mill along the southern waterways, while the rugged northern heights are marked by the Chunklick Look Out Tower and several strategic crossings including Black Mountain Gap and Spanish Oak Gap. The drainage patterns of the Martins Fork Cumberland River and its various forks highlight the complex hydrology of the region. Notable terrain features such as White Rocks and Bailes Meadows suggest a landscape used for both lookout points and upland grazing, providing a clear picture of the area's physical and cultural geography.
