USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Industrial rail lines and coal mining operations dominate this Jefferson County landscape, where the Southern and Louisville And Nashville railroads follow the winding corridors of the Locust Fork and Fivemile Creek. The area’s history is reflected in several clustered mining settlements, including Brookside, Blossburg, and Sayre, which are connected by complex rail spurs and service roads. Numerous Strip Mine sites are evident across the terrain, illustrating the significant extraction economy of the mid-20th century.
