1953 Map of Argillite
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Little Sandy River carves a winding path through this corner of Greenup County, defining a landscape of hollows and ridges where early industry and education left their marks. At the crossroads of Argillite, the Argillite Fire Tower stands as a sentinel over the valley, while the presence of an Iron Furnace near Hunnewell points to the region's historical mineral exploitation. The transition from timber and iron to coal is visible in the numerous Strip Mines appearing in the southern reaches toward the Boyd County line.
