Beattyville serves as a focal point at the confluence of the Kentucky River branches in this 1890 survey of eastern Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the sharp winding of the Red River and a dense network of mountain communities connected by the early industrial routes of the L and E R R and the Union Railroad. Of particular interest to industrial historians are the named iron works, including Fitchburg Furnace and Estill Furnace, which highlight the region's 19th-century resource extraction economy.
