The Green River carves a winding path along the border of Muhlenberg and Ohio counties, defining a landscape shaped by coal extraction and river commerce in the early 1960s. Extensive strip mines dominate the terrain east of Central City, where the Illinois Central railroad and the Western Kentucky Parkway provide critical infrastructure for the region's energy economy. This survey documents the expansion of industrial activity, highlighted by the Green River Power Plant situated near the riverbanks.
