1960 Map of Smithfield

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes intersect in this portion of Jefferson County, where the topography is defined by the heavy footprint of coal extraction. Extensive Strip Mine operations are visible across the hills, particularly surrounding Bloomingdale and Hopedale. These sites, often marked for reclamation by the late 1970s, stand in contrast to the established agricultural and civic centers like Smithfield, which contains a Stadium and the Fairgrounds. The region's transport network is a complex layering of eras, featuring the Norfolk and Western and Penn Central lines alongside an Old RR Grade, tracing the evolution of coal and freight movement through the valleys of McIntyre Creek and Cross Creek. Small settlements like Piney Fork and Unionport anchor the rural sections, where historic sites such as Mt Moriah Ch and Pine Run Cem provide essential data points for local family historians.
