1961 Map of Jackson

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The North Fork Kentucky River meanders sharply through Breathitt County, anchoring a landscape defined by steep ridges and narrow creek bottoms. In this 1961 survey, updated in the 1970s, the town of Jackson stands as a primary hub, characterized by the dramatic Panhandle and The Cut. The region's industrial and educational character is evident in the presence of the Kentucky Mountain Bible Institute and numerous mines scattered across the hills.
