USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Kentucky River carves a winding path through this mid-century portrait of Estill County, anchoring a concentrated rail and industrial corridor. At the heart of the landscape, the twin rail towns of Irvine and Ravenna serve as central hubs for the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which parallels the riverbank past oil wells and storage infrastructure. Engineering of the waterway is evident at Lock and Dam No 12, a vital point for managing the river's flow through the deeply dissected terrain of the Cumberland National Forest.
