1954 Map of Harlan
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The confluence of Martins Fork, Clover Fork, and the Poor Fork creates a central mountain hub for the city of Harlan and its satellite coal-camp communities in the mid-1950s. The Louisville and Nashville railroad dominates the valley floors, winding alongside the Cumberland River to service a dense network of residential and industrial pockets. Mining and rail activity are evident through the numerous dual-named settlements such as Mary Helen (Coalgood PO), Grays Knob (Wilsonberger Sta), and Lenarue (Glidden Sta), which often distinguished the community name from the post office or railroad station.
