1970 Map of Saxton

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Coal extraction and river geography define this section of Whitley County, where the Cumberland River carves dramatic loops through Horseshoe Bend, Maiden Bend, and Boyd Bend. The industrial character of the 1970s is evident in the extensive Strip Mine operations and individual Mine shafts scattered across the slopes of Patterson Mountain and Powers Mtn. These operations are linked by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which follows the creek valleys to service mining settlements like Gatliff and Nevisdale. Away from the industrial zones, local life is anchored by landmarks like Nevisdale Sch, Mt Pisgah Ch, and Mulberry Ch. The terrain transitions from the river lowlands to the higher elevations of Bowing Mountain and Taylor Mountain, with several family-named cemeteries and hollows marking the heritage of the Cumberland plateau.
