USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Coal company maps and 1950s aerial photography inform this topographic record of Letcher County, where the North Fork Kentucky River and the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks follow the winding valley floors. The landscape is a dense network of hollows and gaps, such as Sandlick Gap and Turkey Gap, which dictated the location of early mountain settlements and rural schoolhouses. A notable concentration of community infrastructure appears along the watercourses, including the Beaverdam Sch, Colson Sch, and Camp Branch Sch.
