You might want to look at https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win
which provides a way to map sshfs drives in windows. If you are using cygwin, you are on windows. Ironically, this port of sshfs to windows uses cygwin dll underneath the covers for POSIX stuff.
After installing sshfs-win, from cygwin bash you should be able to use the windows net use command as per the sshfs-win documentation.
A kludgy method but it would avoid trying to build sshfs under cygwin.

1github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win#unc-syntax and the Windows Credentials manager don't provide a way to use a SSH agent (e.g. Pageant or OpenSSH ssh-agent) or SSH keys. Apr 29, 2019 at 8:12
sshfs is not a Cygwin package. You can check this on https://cygwin.com/packages/package_list.html.
To use sshfs, you would follow the installation instructions on the sshfs github page.
https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/blob/master/README.rst
According to the instructions, you'll also need to install meson and ninja to build the package, as well as libfuse and Glib. These may or may not be in the official packages for Cygwin, you'll have to check, and possibly build those from source as well.
Keep in mind that it could be an exercise in frustration, and it may not be possible.

Tried to compile libfuse in cygwin, end up getting "libfuse does not support Windows. Take a look at secfs.net/winfsp instead" github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/… So I guess it doesn't work.– gwdingJun 7, 2019 at 17:28
There is the win-sshfs. It is not an equivalent of linux sshfs, but it allow to represent remote file system to windows file system. For now install&run proccess looks like the following.
