1961 Map of Hartman

About this map

Hartman stands as a focal point along the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor in the early 1960s, surrounded by an active landscape of strip mines and scattered agricultural settlements. The terrain transitions from the alluvial bottomlands of the Arkansas River near Morrison Bluff to the rising elevations of Horsehead and Tick Hill. This era shows a community deeply tied to its natural resources and spiritual centers, evidenced by numerous local landmarks including Hays Chapel, Sacred Heart Ch, and West Mount Zion Ch.
