1963 Map of Jamboree

About this map

Jamboree and the rugged hollows of Pike County are defined by a complex network of creeks and coal-bearing ridges along the Kentucky and Virginia state line. The Norfolk and Western railway follows the winding path of Johns Creek and the Levisa Fork valley, serving as the industrial artery for small communities like Dunlap and Fedscreek. These settlements are closely tied to the timber and mining geography of the Appalachians, with evidence of early resource extraction visible in the numerous gas wells and a Strip Mine located near Horse Narrows Br.
