1974 Map of Balkan

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Pine Mountain dominates the landscape in this southeastern Kentucky coal region, carving a dramatic line through Bell County. The valley floors are shaped by the industrial presence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which follows the path of Straight Creek and the Cumberland River to serve numerous extraction sites. Numerous strip mines and conveyors are etched into the hillsides, illustrating the intensive resource work around settlements like Balkan and Kettle Island.
