2019 Map of Elkhorn City

About this map

Elkhorn City serves as a central hub in this Appalachian borderland, where the Russell Fork river carves through the dramatic geology of the Kentucky and Virginia line. The landscape is defined by the deep gorges of Breaks Interstate Park, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of the South, featuring massive sandstone formations like The Towers, The Chimney, and Lovers Leap. Transportation infrastructure is particularly dense here, dictated by the narrow river valleys; the map identifies several significant engineering works including the Pool Point Tunnel, State Line Tunnel, and the spanning Pool Point Bridge.
