1970 Map of Corbin

About this map

The rail-driven hub of Corbin serves as the focal point of this survey, where the Louisville and Nashville tracks converge and define the city's industrial geography. The map illustrates a period of significant local infrastructure, showing the Industrial Waste Ponds and a complex network of schools such as St Camillus Academy and Park Hill Academy. To the south and east, the landscape transitions from the urban density of North Corbin to the smaller settlements of Woodbine and Wilton, where coal mining activity is evident through various Mines and Strip Mines scattered near the Whitley and Knox County line.
