1962 Map of Madisonville West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Madisonville and the neighboring coal communities of the early 1960s reveal a landscape heavily shaped by the extractive economy of western Kentucky. Extensive Strip Mine operations and named sites like Pleasant View Mine and Circle Mine dominate the central and southern terrain, while major reservoirs such as Lake Peewee and Loch Mary Reservoir underscore the industrial and municipal water needs of the era. The transportation network is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Central railroads, which facilitated the movement of coal from local tipples to broader markets.
