1957 Map of Centrahoma

About this map

Centrahoma serves as the primary hub in this Oklahoma coal country landscape, situated near an active Oil and Gas Field. The map reveals a post-war rural economy transitioning from underground extraction to diverse land uses, evidenced by the presence of several named mining operations including the Hazelton Mine, Keystone Mine, and Phillips Mine in the southern reaches. The drainage of Clear Boggy Creek and its many tributaries, such as Caney Creek and Owl Creek, dictates the undulating terrain. Local social history is grounded in sites like Nixon Ch and the Round Lake Cem, while the Oak Grove Cem (Abandoned) provides a specific point of interest for genealogists. A distinctive Drive-in Theater and a prominent Aqueduct crossing the landscape reflect mid-century infrastructure and community life in Coal County.
