1957 Map of Catlettsburg

About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and the Big Sandy River serves as the focal point for this tri-state study, where Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio meet. The industrial and transit corridor of the late 1950s is densely detailed, featuring the Chesapeake And Ohio and Baltimore And Ohio railroads alongside the Midland Trail. Major municipal footprints like Ashland, Catlettsburg, and Huntington dominate the riverfronts, while smaller communities such as Ceredo and Kenova illustrate the residential expansion of the era.
