1969 Map of London
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor anchors the western edge of this Laurel County landscape, connecting the coal-era settlements of East Bernstadt and Pittsburg. At the end of the 1960s, the terrain shows a mix of established rural communities and evolving infrastructure, with the Daniel Boone Parkway cutting across the southern portion near London. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Laurel River and Raccoon Creek, with residential clusters such as McWhorter and Maplesville scattered among the ridges. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several country churches and burial grounds, including Hazel Green Ch, Mt Carmel Ch, and the Olive-Gilead Cem. A notable Strip Mine north of East Bernstadt reflects the region's industrial ties, while the Daniel Boone National Forest provides a northern boundary for the settled areas.
