1972 Map of Quicksand

About this map

Quicksand Creek winds through the heart of this Breathitt County landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad follows the river bends through Quicksand and south toward Kragon. This 1970s revision captures the region's complex economic character, from the extensive gas wells and coal mines dotting the hollows to the Univ of Kentucky Experimental Farm near the riverbanks. The settlement of Jackson anchors the western edge, featuring the LBJ Sch and a drive-in theater near Panbowl Lake.
