About this map

The western outskirts of Earlington and the coal-bearing landscapes of Hopkins County define this 2010 topographic record. Industrial activity is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Oriole Mine and Pleasant View Mine, which sit alongside numerous residential pockets like Wesco, Hecla, and West Side Heights. The terrain is characterized by a high density of water features, from the large Loch Mary Reservoir and Lake Peewee to the smaller Pleasant View Lake and Dozier Lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data through the preservation of family and community burial grounds, including Tapp Cemetery, Wicks Cemetery, and the Calvary Oakwood Cemetery. The map also traces a complex network of local transport, such as the Manitou-Richland Rd and Columbia Schoolhouse Rd, reflecting how the rural settlement patterns evolved alongside the mining industry and the meandering paths of Clear Creek and Greasy Creek.
