1982 Map of Huntington

About this map

Huntington sits at the nexus of the Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky tri-state area, its urban footprint following the sweep of the Ohio River. By the early 1980s, the region's industrial and logistical identity was firmly established along the river banks, anchored by major rail corridors like the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads. To the west, Ashland and Catlettsburg mark the confluence of the Big Sandy River, while to the east, the landscape transitions into the hills of Cabell Co and Wayne Co.
