1962 Map of Prichard
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Big Sandy River forms the vital border between West Virginia and Kentucky, serving as a corridor for the Norfolk and Western Railway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Along the river banks, the settlements of Prichard and Hubbardstown anchor a landscape defined by its extractive industry, including the Hurricane Strip Mine and the Mineral Springs Mine. A significant tipple and various gas wells demonstrate the intensive energy production of the era, while scattered family-named cemeteries and rural institutions like Brick Church and Shiloh Ch point to deeply rooted local lineages.
