1954 Map of Benham
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Pine Mountain dominates the northern horizon of this coal country survey, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad follows the tight corridor of Looney Creek. The industrial landscape of the mid-1950s is evident in the presence of a Strip Mine and a network of mining-related infrastructure connecting the towns of Benham, Lynch, and Cumberland. This era captures these company towns at a period of high density, with institutional landmarks like Lynch High Sch and several smaller settlements such as Clutts and Blair lining the narrow valleys.
