1971 Map of Louisa

About this map

The Big Sandy River forms a natural border between Kentucky and West Virginia, where the communities of Louisa and Fort Gay stand at the confluence of the Tug Fork and Levisa Fork. This region is defined by its deep valley bottoms and the industrial infrastructure of the early 1970s, including the Norfolk and Western Ry and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. Settlement patterns follow the winding watercourses and narrow ridges, such as Pine Ridge and Bromley Ridge, where numerous family cemeteries and small country churches like Bartram Chapel and Wilson Chapel are situated.
