2019 Map of Tollesboro

About this map

Tollesboro serves as a central hub in this section of Lewis County, where the dendritic drainage patterns of Cabin Creek and its many tributaries like Phillips Cr and Union Br define the landscape. The map reveals a network of small settlements and named hollows that speak to the region's agricultural and rural heritage, including Cottageville to the northwest and Poplar Flat to the northeast. The terrain becomes notably more pronounced toward the southeast, where Eskalapia Mtn and Kentucky Ridge rise above the surrounding valleys. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named locations such as Peach Orchard Hill and Tanbark Hill, as well as the numerous hollows like May Hollow and Stouts Hollow that have historically sheltered small homesteads along the creeks. The border with Fleming County is also clearly demarcated near the village of Epworth.
