1954 Map of Wheelwright
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Wheelwright mining region of eastern Kentucky is documented here at a time of intensive industrial extraction and complex mountain settlement. As a company town, Wheelwright is central to the map, supported by significant infrastructure like the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and specialized facilities such as the Dunbar High Sch. The map reveals the deep integration of the coal industry into the landscape, with numerous Strip Mine sites, an Incline, and a Conveyor system moving material through the narrow valleys of Beaver Creek and Left Fork.
