1954 Map of Williamson
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Tug Fork carves a winding boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia, defining the economic and social landscape of this coal-country corridor in the mid-1950s. Communities like South Williamson and Belfry serve as focal points for the region, where the Norfolk and Western railroad snakes along the riverbank to support local industry. The map reveals a dense network of mountain hollows, such as Negro Hol and Indian Grave Hol, which are interspersed with numerous small family cemeteries and rural schoolhouses including Turkey Creek Sch and Road Fork Sch.
