1957 Map of Huntington
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Ohio River valley serves as the industrial and transportation spine of this tri-state region, connecting Huntington, Ashland, and Portsmouth during a period of significant post-war infrastructure. The map reveals a landscape defined by the heavy rail corridors of the Chesapeake & Ohio RR and Norfolk & Western RR, which trace the riverbanks alongside established river towns like Ironton and Catlettsburg. Beyond the industrial riverside, the terrain rises into the deep ridges of the Wayne National Forest and Daniel Boone National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Pilot Knob punctuate the highlands, while newer hydrological features like Grayson Lake and Cave Run Lake reflect mid-century changes to the drainage basins of the Little Sandy River and Licking River.
