2010 Map of Sewanee

About this map

The University of the South anchors the central plateau on this 2010 survey of the Cumberland region, surrounded by a complex landscape of coves, hollows, and historic settlements. The presence of the Sewanee Post Office and Saint Andrews Post Office highlights the established community hubs, while numerous family and institutional burial grounds like University Cemetery and Sewell-Bowers Cemetery provide deep roots for genealogical research. The terrain is marked by industrial and natural landmarks, from the Shakerag Hollow Mine and Kelley Mine to dramatic points such as Morgans Steep and Point Disappointment. Water features like Lake Cheston and the Boiling Fork Creek network define the local geography. Beneath the plateau, the Cowan Tunnel indicates the important railroad engineering required to traverse this section of Franklin County.
