1997 Map of Central City East

About this map

The Green River meanders along the boundary of Muhlenberg and Ohio Counties, shaping a landscape heavily defined by the coal industry in the late twentieth century. Extensive strip mines dominate the central and southern portions of the map, carving into the terrain near established communities like Martwick and Nelson. These industrial operations contrast with the older settlement patterns anchored by local gathering places such as Green River Chapel and the small town of Central City to the west.
