About this map

Cumberland Gap National Historical Park dominates the central landscape of this quadrangle, preserving the steep ascent of Cumberland Mountain along the border of Virginia and Kentucky. To the south, the valley floor near Ewing is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Richmond Cem and Chadwell Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the old Wilderness Rd corridor. The geography transitions from the agricultural valley of Indian Cr to the high ridges of Brush Mtn and Little Black Mtn.

Evidence of early industrial life remains at Cowan Mill and Kesterson Mill, while prominent geological features like White Rocks and the Tennessee Valley Divide provide clear markers of the region's topography. The map details the complex network of hollows and gaps, including Indian Grave Gap and Black Mountain Gap, which have historically dictated travel and transit through this portion of Lee and Harlan counties.
