1972 Map of Estella

About this map

Estella serves as a central landmark in this 1970s landscape, which illustrates the heavy impact of resource extraction and subsequent land management. Several large purple-tinted areas labeled Reclaimed Area highlight where former strip mining operations have been mitigated, situated near drainage basins like Lightning Cr and Madden Cr. This region of Craig County is particularly notable for its scattered family and community burial grounds, such as Nix Cem, Scott Cem, and Longtail Cem, providing critical geographic data for local genealogists.
