1997 Map of Central City West

About this map

Bremen and South Carrollton anchor a landscape defined by significant industrial modification and natural conservation in Muhlenberg County. The map details an era where the Green River and its tributaries, including Muddy Fork, coexist with massive land reclamation efforts. Expansive Strip Mines dominate much of the southern and central terrain, contrasted by the established Peabody State Wildlife Management Area. Local history is preserved through small rural hubs like Gishton and Midland, and family history researchers can find several notable landmarks such as Shavers Chapel and Bethlehem Cem. The transit corridor of the Western Kentucky Parkway bisects the southern mining district, illustrating the region's connection to larger state infrastructure during the late 20th century.
