USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Kentucky River and its upper tributaries carve through the coal-rich mountains of Letcher County, defining a landscape of narrow valleys and high ridges in the mid-1950s. High on the southern edge, Pine Mountain marks the border with Virginia, with Pound Gap serving as a critical passage into the Jefferson National Forest. This era shows a densely populated industrial corridor where the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad snake through towns like Neon, Fleming, and McRoberts.
