1968 Map of Catlettsburg

About this map

Virginia Point marks the convergence of two major waterways where the Big Sandy River meets the Ohio River, creating a natural tri-state border between Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio. This industrial and transportation hub is defined by the heavy presence of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads serving riverside communities like Kenova, Catlettsburg, and South Point. The landscape transitions from the developed riverfronts of Ashland and Huntington to the wooded reaches of the Wayne National Forest in the north.
