1968 Map of Bokoshe

About this map

Bokoshe serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, situated at the base of Bokoshe Mountain in a landscape heavily defined by the coal industry. The map illustrates a transitional economy where resource extraction and transportation intersect, evidenced by the extensive Strip Mines cutting across the terrain and the presence of several shale pits and a quarry. Rail infrastructure is prominent, with the Texas and Pacific and Fort Smith and Van Buren lines traversing the region to move minerals and goods.
