1971 Map of Grayson
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Little Sandy River winds through the heart of Carter County, shaping a landscape defined by narrow valleys and industrial transition. In the early 1970s, the area surrounding Grayson serves as a regional hub, featuring Kentucky Christian College and the County High School. The southern portion of the map reveals a shift toward heavy industry and resource extraction, with numerous labels for a Strip Mine and a Quarry dotting the terrain near Hitchins and Mt Savage. A notable link to the region's industrial past is preserved at the Clay Furnace (Historical Ruin) near the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line. Modern infrastructure is represented by the massive Grayson Dam and the emerging waters of Grayson Lake, marking a significant modification to the historical flow of the river system.
