1979 Map of Broad Bottom

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Levisa Fork carves a deep path through the coal-rich hills of eastern Kentucky, anchoring a chain of valley settlements along its banks. This late-1970s landscape shows the industrial density of the region, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks follow the river's curve past Blair Town and Broad Bottom. The map reveals a transition in land use, from traditional small-scale farming at May Farm to the intensive footprints of modern infrastructure, including the Coal Run Substation and the Pikeville Airport.
