1950 Map of Tygarts Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The early industrial legacy of Carter and Greenup counties is visible in this mid-century survey, highlighted by historic ironworks like Boone Furnace and Charlotte Furnace. These sites reflect the region's 19th-century furnace operations that once thrived on local timber and ore. The terrain is deeply dissected by the winding Tygarts Creek, which feeds a network of remote hollows including Thomas Hollow and Grizzly Hollow. Small rural communities and rural infrastructure of the 1950s are well-documented, from the settlement at Kehoe to numerous country schools like Sutton Sch, Fairview Sch, and Wolf Sch. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the many burial grounds, such as Huffman Cem, Everman Cem, and Bentley Cem. The southern edge of the map encompasses the early boundaries of Carter Caves State Park, while prominent landmarks like Potato Knob rise above the complex valley system.
