2019 Map of McEwen

About this map

McEwen and Waverly anchor this detailed landscape in Humphreys County, where the CSX Transportation railroad line cuts through a series of hollows and ridges. The terrain is deeply articulated by family-named hollows such as Wyly Hollow, Trogden Hollow, and Bushwacker Hollow, illustrating a settlement pattern long defined by the area's intricate drainage systems. Local history is preserved in numerous upland burial grounds, including the Anderson Cem, Bethpage Cem, and Scurlock Cem, which are often found on the rises above watercourses like Little Blue Cr and Hurricane Creek. Near the eastern edge of the map, McEwen High Sch and the Bethel Ch serve as community landmarks, while the Humphreys County Airport marks the northwestern corner. The map also records several natural springs, such as Long Spring and Simpson Spring, which historically influenced the placement of homesteads in this part of Tennessee.
