2020 Map of Coal Hill

About this map

Coal Hill serves as a central hub on this 2020 landscape, situated between the communities of Hartman and Altus in the Arkansas River Valley. The map documents a dense network of family and community history through its numerous burial sites, ranging from the Possum Walk Cem in the north to the West Cem and Coal Hill Cem near the town center. The northern terrain is defined by the drainages of McKinney Cr and Dirty Creek, while the southern portion transitions into the fertile flats of the McLean Bottom near the Arkansas River. The inclusion of Wiederkehr Village and Alix illustrates the persistent rural settlement patterns that have shaped this portion of Johnson and Franklin Counties. This recent survey captures the modern road network, such as Co Rd 2070 and Co Rd 517, which connect these historic mining and agricultural communities.
