1962 Map of Covington

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Covington industrial landscape is defined by its position along the Jackson River, where 1960s developments include Industrial Waste Ponds, a Filtration Plant, and a local Airport. This era of the city's growth is juxtaposed against the older mountainous extraction economy, most notably the Rich Patch Mines at the foot of Horse Mountain. The heavy transit corridor of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad ties the settlement of Lowmoor to the city center, passing by established neighborhoods like Rayon Terrace and Mallow. Social and civic life is anchored by institutions such as Alleghany High Sch and Cedar Hill Cemetery. Beyond the urban core, the terrain rises into the George Washington National Forest, where landmarks like Falling Spring Falls and the Alleghany Country Club show the area's transition into recreational land use.
