USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
London serves as the focal point of this 1950s Laurel County landscape, where the campus of Sue Bennett College and the State Sanatorium sit amidst a growing regional hub. The geography is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, which links the industrial activities of Pittsburg and East Bernstadt to the broader Kentucky network. A heavy concentration of Strip Mines marks the hillsides, particularly between Wood Creek and Hazel Patch Creek, illustrating the era's intensive resource extraction.
