1947 Map of Hartford

About this map

Sugar Loaf Mountain and the high ridges of Kully Chaha dominate this landscape along the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Recorded shortly after the war, the map depicts a region defined by its topography and the extractive economy of the Arkoma Basin. The town of Hartford serves as a local hub, where a network of roads and rails supports nearby operations, including a marked Coal mine along Coal Creek. Smaller settlements like Slaytonville and West Hartford are connected by winding routes that navigate the terrain between Midland Peak and Oklahoma Peak. Numerous watercourses such as Riddle Creek, Gap Creek, and Sugar Loaf Creek drain the valleys, while several scattered Cemeteries provide valuable markers for genealogical research in this borderland area of Sebastian and Le Flore counties.
