1963 Map of Kermit
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Tug Fork carves a deep, winding boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia on this 1963 survey, where the Norfolk and Western railway snakes alongside the river. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and ridgelines of the Appalachian plateau, with small communities like Kermit and Warfield serving as local hubs. Cultural landmarks of the mid-20th century are evident, including a Drive-in Theater near Lovely and the Cassidy Lookout Tower presiding over the higher elevations to the west. This edition, updated in the late 1970s, captures the region's religious and family heritage through numerous hillside cemeteries and churches such as Gospel Light Ch and Old Zion Ch. The landscape also bears the marks of resource extraction, with multiple mines and strip mines located near Selwyn and the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
