1970 Map of Lily

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad and the historic Wilderness Road corridors anchor this 1970 landscape, illustrating the evolution of transport through Laurel County. The southern edge of London shows significant development, including Sue Bennett College and the London-Corbin War Memorial Airport. Central to the map is the Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park, preserving a section of the pioneer trail. Outside these developed hubs, the map documents a shift toward heavy industry with numerous Strip Mines appearing near Lily and along the Laurel River. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks like McHargue and Brock, alongside scattered country churches such as Corinth Ch and Gilbert Chapel. The terrain is marked by the distinct elevations of Frazier Knob and Rocky Knob, which overlook the winding tributaries of Robinson Creek.
