1967 Map of Hartshorne

About this map

Hartshorne and its neighboring town Haileyville sit at the northern edge of a complex geological uplift, where Limestone Ridge and Blue Mountain dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. The industrial character of this late-1960s landscape is defined by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the region's history of coal and transport. Local community life is documented through several burial grounds, including Elmwood Cemetery, Elm Park Cem, and Holy Rosary Cem. Beyond the residential centers, the map reveals smaller settlements like Dow and Craig, while the massive profiles of Belle Starr Mountain and New State Mountain loom over the headwaters of Buffalo Creek. The presence of Lone Oak Sch and several municipal landmarks in the town centers provides a detailed look at the rural Oklahoma infrastructure of the era.
