USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The coal-rich valleys of eastern Kentucky define this 1954 survey, centering on the company-built landscape of Wheelwright and neighboring Weeksbury. The industrial footprint is evident in the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line snaking along Beaver Creek and the numerous strip mines that mark the ridgelines. Community life at mid-century is captured through a high density of rural institutions, from the Dunbar High Sch to the Joppa Ch and Pilgrim Ch.
