About this map

Central City and the surrounding coal-country landscape of Muhlenberg County are defined by a complex network of industrial transport and long-established local settlements. The winding Green River forms the northern border with Ohio County, passing beneath the prominent heights of Kinchloe Bluff. The regional economy is evident in the numerous specialized thoroughfares such as Gibraltar Haul Rd, Green River Haul Rd, and Monsanto Haul Rd, which connect extraction sites to the main rail and road corridors.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, including Fairmont Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and the Company Cem near Cleaton. Small communities like Nelson, Martwick, and Holt are shown in relation to the creek drainages of Nelson Cr and Pond Cr. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where traditional river-town geography meets the heavy infrastructure of modern resource transport.
