1961 Map of Cumberland

About this map

Cumberland sits at the convergence of multiple townships and counties, serving as a focal point for this landscape in the 1960s. The map illustrates a region undergoing significant transformation, where traditional farming communities like Zeno and Young Hickory exist alongside extensive Reclaimed Strip Mine operations. These purple-shaded reclamation areas indicate a shifting economy where extraction and environmental restoration have reshaped the terrain of Coal Hill.
