1979 Map of Hima

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Extensive strip mining and coal tipples define the landscape across this region of the Cumberland Plateau, following the winding path of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The waterway network is dominated by Collins Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Engine Branch and Buzzard Creek. Settlements like Hima and Woollum are centered around the resource extraction industry of the era, with prominent infrastructure such as the Pigeonroost Mine and various strip operations cut into the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for family landmarks and community centers, including Cottongim Cem, the Harris Cem, and rural congregations like Lilly Grove Ch and Antioch Ch. The topographical detail captures a specific moment in the late 1970s when the industrial footprint of coal mining was deeply integrated with the traditional mountain settlements and small post offices of Clay and Knox counties.
