About this map

McEwen sits as a central hub on this mid-century survey, defined by its position along the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Broadway of America. The landscape transitions from the developed corridor around Gorman and the Humphreys County Airfield into a dense network of hollows and ridges. This area is heavily marked by family history, with numerous small burial grounds such as Bennyfield Cem, Choate Cem, and Anderson Cem scattered across the hilly terrain.

Local life revolves around rural landmarks like Liberty Sch and churches including New Bethel Ch and Providence Ch. The hydrology is complex, with Trace Creek and Hurricane Creek carving through the land, supported by named water sources like Hunter Spring and Shiloh Spring. The map captures a moment before significant late-20th-century development, preserving the locations of numerous home sites and remote hollows like Slaughter Hollow and Bushwhacker Hollow.
