1972 Map of Quicksand

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Jackson sits along the bend of the Kentucky River, serving as a focal point for this 1970s look at Breathitt County's central corridor. The landscape is defined by the tight meanders of Quicksand Creek and the South Fork, where narrow valleys host a network of small settlements like Quicksand, Noctor, and Portsmouth. The industrial footprint of the era is evident in the numerous mines, gas wells, and oil wells scattered across ridges such as Roark Ridge and Bald Hill.
