1962 Map of Covington

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The city of Covington serves as a hub of industry and transport in this 1960s survey, updated with purple revisions from the early 1980s. Following the bends of the Jackson River, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the local economy, connecting residential neighborhoods like Rayon Terrace, Edgemont, and Mallow to the central business district. The landscape transitions sharply from the urbanized valley floor to the protected ridges of the George Washington National Forest, where topography like Warm Springs Mountain and Peters Ridge dominates. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible in the Rich Patch Mines and various quarries scattered through the hills. Local social centers are well-documented, ranging from the Alleghany Country Club to multiple schools such as Watson High Sch and Central High Sch.
