1954 Map of Louellen

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The rugged coal and timber landscape of the Letcher and Harlan County border is defined here by the steep ridges of Pine Mountain and Black Mountain. In the mid-1950s, the economic life of the region followed the Cumberland River and Clover Fork, where a string of mining and rail towns—including Highsplint, Closplint, and Louellen—nestled in the narrow valley floors. The L & N Railroad serves as the industrial spine, with lines like the Louisville and Nashville connecting remote spurs to larger hubs.
