1971 Map of Grayson

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Little Sandy River winds through the heart of Carter County, shaping a landscape defined by traditional Appalachian valley settlements and mid-century industrial development. In Grayson, the campus of Kentucky Christian College stands near the town center, while a network of pipelines and strip mines across the ridges indicates the regional reliance on energy extraction. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the massive Grayson Dam and the northern reaches of Grayson Lake, a significant alteration to the local hydrology from the original riverbed.
