1961 Map of Hyden West

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Middle Fork Kentucky River snakes through the eastern portion of this Leslie County landscape, anchoring the community of Hyden and the neighboring settlement of Dryhill. In the early 1960s, this region was characterized by the intersection of traditional Appalachian hollow life and emerging industrial footprints. Evidence of extraction is clear at the Strip Mine near Sizerock and various Gas Well sites scattered throughout the hills.
