1962 Map of Covington

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Jackson River carves a deep path through the Alleghany Highlands, where the city of Covington serves as an industrial and residential hub. This 1960s-era landscape reveals a community defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and the massive industrial footprint of Industrial Waste Ponds and a Filtration Plant. Residential expansion is visible in neighborhoods like Rayon Terrace, Fairlawn, and Idlewilde, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by the George Washington National Forest.

Cultural and economic life is marked by the presence of the Drive-in Theater near Mallow and significant extractive sites like the Rich Patch Mines on Horse Mountain. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community sites, from Mt Pleasant Ch in the north to Cedar Hill Cemetery and Alleghany Memorial Park. The map captures the transition between the dense urban grid of Covington and the steep ridges of Warm Springs Mountain.
