The bend of the Green River defines the landscape of Ohio County in this 1954 survey, where the town of Rockport serves as a key crossing point for both the Illinois Central and Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Mining activity is prominent throughout the quadrangle, notably at the Ken Mine (Strip Mine) and various other strip mines that mark the terrain between Echols and Horton. Local history is preserved in numerous rural landmarks, including Mount Pisgah Cem, Reid Cem, and New Cypress Ch. The river's influence is evident in the surrounding wetlands, such as Thompson Pond and Cypress Slough, which frame the agricultural and industrial character of the region. This map illustrates a mid-century Kentucky landscape shaped by coal extraction and river commerce.
