1960 Map of Jenkins
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Pottsville Escarpment and the jagged ridges of Pine Mountain dominate this mid-century survey of the Central Appalachian coalfields. The landscape is defined by the steep dissection of the Cumberland Plateau, where the headwaters of the Licking River, Kentucky River, and Levisa Fork carve narrow valleys that dictate the location of rail lines and settlements. Major industrial hubs like Hazard, Jenkins, and Williamson are shown at a time when the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and the Norfolk and Western RR were vital for moving coal from the mountains.
