1964 Map of Yankeetown

About this map

The Ohio River shoreline near Yankeetown and Carlinburg defines this mid-century landscape where industrial mining meets rural settlements. In the mid-1960s, the terrain shows heavy modification from numerous Strip Mines north of Red Bush, contrasting with the more traditional riverfront features like Griffith Slough and Clear Pond. The map documents a network of small communities and rural religious life, evidenced by Pleasant Chapel, Bethany Ch, and St Ruperts Ch, along with family and community burial grounds such as Hedge Cem and Yankeetown Cem.
