1992 Map of Harold

About this map

Levisa Fork winds through the heart of this Floyd County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for both the CSX railroad and local commerce in the early 1990s. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, with concentrated communities like Betsy Layne, Harold, and Ivel positioned between the steep hillsides and the river's edge. This era shows a region deeply defined by extractive industry, evidenced by numerous labeled Strip Mines, Mine Dumps, and Tipples that mark the terrain. Educational and civic anchors are well-established, including the Betsy Layne High Sch and Mayo Voc-Tech Sch. Smaller communities such as Dwale, Banner, and Printer are connected by the winding routes of KY 1428 and KY 122, while more remote reaches like Blue Moon and Trace occupy the deep hollows of the southern quadrangle near Mud Creek.
