1960 Map of Folsomville

About this map

Strip mines dominate the northern and western reaches of this landscape near the Pike and Warrick County line. The mid-century terrain is defined by the heavy extraction industry, particularly at the Tecumseh Mine, which is served by the New York Central railroad corridor. While industrial activity reshapes the earth, established rural communities like Folsomville and Dickeyville maintain their local character through a network of country churches and burial grounds, including Shiloh Ch and the Leslie Cem.
