1963 Map of Central City East

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Green River carves a winding path along the boundary of Muhlenberg and Ohio Counties, anchoring an industrial landscape defined by coal and energy. Extensive Strip Mines dominate the topography east of Central City, where the earth is reshaped into tiered basins and ponds. This 1963 revision documents a critical junction of infrastructure, featuring the Western Kentucky Parkway intersecting with the Illinois Central and Louisville and Nashville railroads. The map captures the social geography of the coalfields through numerous rural churches like Mt Olive Ch and Oakland Ch, alongside small company-linked settlements such as Cleaton, Holt, and Martwick. To the northwest, the Green River Power Plant stands as a focal point of the river-side economy, while established cemeteries like Rose Hill Cem and Fairmount Cem provide valuable touchstones for regional genealogy.
