1978 Map of Lick Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The waters of Fishtrap Lake and the Levisa Fork dominate this 1970s landscape in Pike County, revealing a region defined by its coal-rich topography and narrow valley settlements. The map illustrates a dense industrial network where Strip Mines and numerous unnamed mines dot the ridgelines above communities like Kimper and Phyllis. Transport is centered on the Norfolk and Western railroad, which snakes alongside the river and through the Lick Creek Sta. Local history is preserved in the placement of family landmarks and small congregations, including the Flanary Cem, Elswick Ch, and Cedar Bottom Ch. The map captures the area after the completion of the Fishtrap Dam, showing the flooded contours of the Levisa Fork valley and the resulting shoreline that altered the connectivity of local hollows like Happy Hollow and Feds Hollow.
