1954 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The industrial coal-mining landscape of western Kentucky is captured here at a moment of transition during the early 1950s. The Illinois Central and Louisville And Nashville railroads dominate the logistics of the region, connecting towns like Providence and Clay to wider markets. The terrain is defined by a heavy concentration of Strip Mines and specific operations like Mine No 5 and Fairmont Mine, which appear alongside the residential and religious heart of these communities.
