1958 Map of Bates

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Oklahoma Arkansas state line bisects this 1958 survey, where the coal and timber industries of the Ouachita National Forest define the regional economy. Settlements such as Bates, Coaldale, and Weeks are scattered along the base of the massive Poteau Mountain, connected by the Kansas City Southern and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. Heavy industrial activity is evident through the numerous mines and tailings piles lining the valley floor near Sugar Creek. Local life centers around rural landmarks like Cedarville Ch and West Harmony Ch, while historical river crossings such as Trestle Ford and Black Ford provide a look at the early transportation network along the Poteau River.
