1969 Map of Bernstadt

About this map

Wood Creek Lake dominates the central landscape of this Laurel County survey, its dendritic fingers reaching deep into the ridges of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The map documents a period of transition where traditional ridge-and-hollow settlements like Bernstadt and Hare persist alongside newer infrastructure, such as the Filtration Plant and Weighing Station. The rugged topography is etched with small-scale industrial activity, including several scattered strip mines and local extraction points near Powder Mill Creek.
