1954 Map of Harman

About this map

Levisa Fork cuts through the mountains along the state border where the Norfolk and Western railway corridor follows the river's winding path. This 1954 survey focuses on a narrow but vital transportation and settlement corridor at the junction of Pike and Buchanan counties. The small settlement of Toghertville sits nestled near the water, with local heritage preserved at the Hackney Creek Cem overlooking the drainage of Hackney Creek. The map illustrates the industrial and geographic connection between Southwest Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, defined by steep terrain like Shelley and the intricate network of tributaries including Little Hackney Creek.
