1955 Map of Pennington Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
St Charles and Pennington Gap anchor this mid-century topographic study of the coal-rich mountains along the border of Virginia and Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the massive wall of Stone Mountain, which separates the settlement of Stone Creek in Tennessee Valley from the rail lines of Poor Valley Ridge. Industrial activity is evident in the dense network of the Southern Railway and the Louisville & Nashville railroad tracks, which thread through narrow valleys to serve remote mining camps like Bonny Blue, Monarch, and Benedict.
