The city of Madisonville and its surrounding coal-country landscape anchor this modern survey of eastern Hopkins County. The terrain is defined by the broad lowlands of the Pond River and its tributaries, including Elk Cr and Flat Cr, which wind through a mosaic of wetlands and agricultural tracts. Evidence of the region’s long mining history remains visible in the industrial road names like National Mine Rd and Curtis Mine Rd. This sheet is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous local burial sites such as Hicklin Cem, Bethlehem Christian Church Cem, and Browder's Church Cem. Smaller communities like Grapevine, Anton, and Mortons Gap are shown in relation to major transport corridors and the Madisonville Regional Airport, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns where the western coalfields meet the river bottomlands.
