1970 Map of Morehead

About this map

Morehead serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, illustrating the growth of the Morehead State University campus and its proximity to the rugged hills of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The local economy is tied to the corridor of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which follows the winding course of Triplett Creek through the center of the quadrangle. Surrounding the city, small communities and institutional landmarks like Clearfield and the Pine Crest Childrens Home are interspersed with several scattered gas wells.
