1953 Map of Greenup

About this map

The Ohio River curves along the northern boundary of this mid-century survey, defining the industrial and transit corridor for Greenup and neighboring river towns. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks parallel the riverbank, serving the communities of Riverton, Wurtland, and Raceland Junction. Inland, the terrain is dominated by the winding path of the Little Sandy River, which feeds into the Ohio through a landscape of hollows and ridges.
