1964 Map of Yankeetown

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Ohio River shoreline and its surrounding bottomlands define this mid-1960s landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets rural settlement. Extensive Strip Mine operations dominate the higher ground to the east and north, particularly near Red Bush and Pelzer, creating a stark contrast with the agricultural grid of the Anderson and Boon townships. The map documents a complex drainage network, including Little Pigeon Creek, Cypress Creek, and Long Pond Ditch, which manage the low-lying terrain near Scuffletown and Vanada. Local history is anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as St Ruperts Ch, Pleasant Chapel, and Hedge Cem. The community of Yankeetown, featuring its namesake Yankeetown Sch, serves as a central hub, while an Old Railroad Grade and an array of conveyor systems near the river hint at the heavy reliance on coal and river transport.
