A blast from the coal region past.. The “Ashland Daily News” doesn’t exist anymore.. but in 1949 it reported that homes were demolished – homes in the path of proposed stripping.. The road mentioned in the brief snippet is what is now called “Snake road” that ties together Ashland and Mt Carmel..
All the stripping left the landscape vanquished. What exists now? Dirt, rubbish, couches, and just about any piece of garbage people can dump along a highway.
