1963 Map of Millport

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Pond River forms the western boundary of this landscape, separating Hopkins and Muhlenberg counties during an era of significant industrial transformation. To the north, the small community of Millport and the nearby Stringtown sit along the Louisville and Nashville railroad line, representing the traditional settlement patterns of the region. However, the map is dominated by the sprawling footprint of the coal industry. Massive Strip Mine operations have reshaped the terrain south of Earle, leaving a distinct topographic signature that contrasts with the natural drainages of Log Creek and Isaacs Creek. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Corley Chapel and the Salem Cem, while the town of Graham anchors the southern portion of the sheet near Graham Lake. This document captures the heavy infrastructure of the mid-century, from the Illinois Central tracks to the extensive networks of Gas Well and Oil Well sites dotting the area.
