1954 Map of Dorton

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Shelby and Caney Creek define the drainage and settlement patterns of this central Appalachian landscape in the mid-1950s. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks tightly follow the winding valley of Shelby Creek, connecting coal-era hamlets like Penny, Myra, and Jonancy. The map reveals a highly localized social geography, with numerous small schools and churches serving individual hollows, such as Esco Sch and Jones Chapel.
