1964 Map of Opdyke

About this map

Opdyke and Summersville anchor a landscape defined by small rural settlements and intersecting transit lines in the mid-1960s. The southern half of the sheet is dominated by the Louisville And Nashville railroad corridor, which runs parallel to the modern highway through Opdyke, while the Southern line traverses the north through Marlow and Bluford. The terrain is characterized by numerous creek drainages, including Sevenmile Creek and Casey Fork, which create a complex system of wooded valleys and ridges.
