1963 Map of Hurley

About this map

The winding course of Knox Creek dictates the layout of human life along the border of Virginia and Kentucky in the early 1960s. This survey records the industrial and social infrastructure of the central Appalachian coalfields, where the Norfolk and Western railroad snakes through deep hollows to serve settlements like Hurley, Kelsa, and Argo. The landscape is a complex network of resource extraction and local community, indicated by the numerous gas wells, coal mines, and a large strip mine positioned along the ridges.
