1976 Map of Ewing
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Cumberland Mountain dominates this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, serving as a massive natural barrier that defines the settlement patterns of Lee County, Virginia. To the south, the village of Ewing and the community of Caylor sit along the fertile valley of Indian Creek, where the land is carved into distinct agricultural plots. This contrasts sharply with the heavily forested and deeply dissected terrain to the north. In the rugged upper portion of the map, the headwaters of Martins Fork Cumberland River and Brownies Creek wind through steep hollows. The settlement of Alva is positioned near Puckett Creek, connected to the southern valley through the notable passage at Ely Gap. The imagery reveals the stark transition between the organized valley farms and the shadowed, timbered heights of Butterfly Knob.
