1961 Map of Wellston
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The industrial coal-mining landscape of Jackson County dominates this early 1960s survey. Extensive Strip Mine operations are visible across the hills, particularly around Coalton and Glen Roy, illustrating the intensive extraction that shaped the local economy. The city of Wellston serves as the primary hub, showing a dense street grid, numerous schools like SS Peter & Paul Sch, and the County Fairground. Rail infrastructure is central to the area's layout, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio lines converging at Ironton Junction to transport coal from the various works.
