1952 Map of Robbins
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Brimstone Railroad and the Southern line converge in this rugged section of the Cumberland Plateau, defining a landscape shaped by coal extraction and timber. Extensive Strip Mines mark the ridges above Robbins and Elgin, while numerous small communities like Coal Hill and West Robbins cling to the valley floors and rail sidings. The map reveals a dense network of local institutions, including Love Chapel and the Mt Pleasant School, which served the families working the nearby mines and sawmills. The topographic detail captures the transition from the high Wallace Ridge down to the winding course of the New River and Brimstone Creek. Local aviation is represented by Todd Airfield near the southern edge of the Elgin settlement, providing a look at mid-century infrastructure in Scott County.
