USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Morehead serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey, situated at the crossroads of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the Midland Trail. The landscape is dominated by the steep, wooded ridges of the Cumberland National Forest, where industrial activity is visible through scattered gas wells and strip mines. Near Clearfield, a cluster of brick kilns and an incline tramway suggest a local economy tied to the extraction of clay or coal from the surrounding hills.
