1953 Map of Rush

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Industrial extraction and small hillside settlements define the landscape between Coalton and Denton in the early 1950s. The region is heavily marked by the Ashland Gas Field and numerous Strip Mines, which line the ridges and hollows. Transportation for these resources is anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which passes through Rush Station and Kilgore, paralleling the historic Midland Trail. Local life remains centered around a dense network of country schools and family landmarks, including Geigersville School, Star Schools, and the Wilson Creek Cemetery. The topography is a complex system of drainage, where Williams Creek and Upper Stinson Creek carve through the Boyd and Carter County line, reflecting a community deeply tied to both the land and its subsurface wealth.
