About this map

Mew and Banners Corner sit along the northern reaches of this Russell County landscape, where the valley floors are dotted with family burial grounds and small settlements. The terrain is defined by parallel ridges including Bakers Ridge and the prominent Copper Ridge, which separates the drainages of Sinking Cr and Grassy Creek. This 2019 survey documents a deeply rooted rural community, showing the density of historical sites like Free Hill Cem and Sebas Chapel Cem that reflect generations of local residency.

Transport routes like Mew Rd - SR 65 and Moccasin Valley Rd navigate the narrow gaps between steep slopes. In the south, the settlement of Tumbez and the waters of Big Moccasin Creek highlight the geographic transition toward the Scott County line. The map identifies numerous hollows, such as Osborne Hollow and Pumplog Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small-scale agriculture in this corner of the Appalachian highlands.
