Further Sideling hill research

One of the suggestions from my initial crit on Monday was to look into, with the prospect of using type from branding surrounding Sideling Hill. There are a few things floating around on google and related website that I have collected here for reference

Maps could be an interesting avenue to look down aside from the contour line idea that I am already developing. If I could find older maps somewhere that could further the depth of my context 

Fairly modern signage solutions such as this are interesting as it gives me an idea of how people in the states might interpret Sideling visually as of course I have never visited the area 

I find amateur edits like these two intriguing. I wonder how much thought the creator put into typography and if so what message they were trying to get across  

Here is a very modern mass produced aesthetic for a drone video. Interestingly they've gone for flat serifs giving an idea of landscape I guess. I should look into the effect of serifs 

old and new American road signs like these could be a good source of inspiration for: shape and form, colours and actual typography itself. Definitely something to explore. 

I have noticed there is a lot of graffiti around the abandoned concrete bridges and brick work which could be an interesting area of research

This old 60/70s name sign is very aesthetic and things from this era do interest me however this is unfortunately the only image from the era I could source.
