About this map

Shelby Creek and the steel rails of CSX Transportation anchor this 1990s portrait of the Kentucky coalfields, where steep hollows and narrow creek bottoms dictate the pattern of human settlement. The map reveals a dense network of communities like Virgie, Dorton, and Penny clustered along the valley floors, supported by a landscape heavily marked by industrial activity. Dozens of Mines and associated infrastructure, including a Conveyor and Tipple near Esco, illustrate the region's economic engine.
