1979 Map of Beverly

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Beverly stands at the heart of this 1979 survey, where the boundaries of Bell, Clay, and Leslie counties converge. The local landscape is deeply defined by the industrial footprint of extractive resource management, shown through extensive Strip Mines and numerous unnamed mines dotting the ridges above Alex Creek and Straight Creek. The Red Bird Settlement Sch and Cow Fork Ch provide clear landmarks for genealogical research, while several cemeteries are tucked into the hollows of the Cumberland Plateau. A lookout tower on a northern ridge and a tipple near the Louisville and Nashville tracks along the southern edge of the sheet illustrate the intersection of forestry surveillance and the coal-hauling rail economy. Winding watercourses like Indian Grave Branch and Pigeon Roost Branch reveal the intricate topography of the region as it existed before contemporary reclamation efforts.
