1969 Map of Hickory

About this map

Mayfield sits at the southern edge of this West Kentucky landscape, where the town's northward expansion meets the industrial activities of the Mayfield Valley. The map details a transition from the urban grid of the county seat to the rural agricultural lands and scattered settlements like Hickory and Pottsville. Extensive Claypits and gravel operations dot the terrain, particularly near the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line, indicating the region's reliance on mineral extraction during this era.
