1953 Map of South Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Green River carves a winding path along the northern boundary of this Kentucky landscape, separating Ohio and Butler counties. At the time of this 1953 field check, the region was characterized by small agricultural and mining hubs, including the curiously named Mining City and the settlement of Provo. The geography is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, such as Muddy Creek and Hickory Camp Creek, which shaped the placement of local infrastructure and family homesteads. Cultural landmarks like Monticello Ch and Oak Grove Sch served as community anchors, while the southern reaches of the map show an active Oil Field with numerous Oil Wells. Several Strip Mines are also marked, illustrating the extractive industries that influenced the local economy alongside more traditional farming life.
