About this map

Campbell Strip Mine Reclaimed dominates the central landscape of this 1961 survey, where massive earth-moving operations once transformed the terrain between Fisherville and Millersburg. The map illustrates a pivotal era of industrial land management, with extensive purple shading identifying large tracts of restored ground. To the east, a remnant of the historic Wabash and Erie Canal traces a path through the lowlands near Pigeon Creek, reflecting the nineteenth-century transportation network that predated the heavy coal industry. The rural character remains evident in the numerous family-named roads and landmarks, including Burkhardt Sch and several country cemeteries like Blue Grass Cem. Transportation is anchored by the New York Central and Southern railroads, which served as the primary arteries for the region's agricultural and mining output.
