2016 Map of McEwen

About this map

McEwen and Gorman anchor this central Tennessee landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges typical of the Western Highland Rim. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by its hydrology, with Hurricane Creek and Little Blue Cr carving deep into the topography, creating family-named landmarks like Jones Hollow and Trogden Hollow. Local history is preserved in the numerous small burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Bethel Cem, Chambers Cem, and Scurlock Cem. Transportation patterns here follow the winding valleys, with Saint Patrick St and Old Nashville Hwy serving the growing community of McEwen. The presence of the Humphreys County Airport near Stephany Ridge suggests the modern evolution of this rural area, while numerous natural springs like Breadens Spring and Shiloh Spring point to the enduring reliance on the local watershed for settlement and agriculture.
