1967 Map of Hartshorne

About this map

The industrial and transportation corridor along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad defines this portion of the Oklahoma coal belt. Adjacent settlements of Haileyville and Hartshorne appear with their dense street grids, including landmarks like the High Sch, Armory, and City Hall. The landscape is characterized by sharp topographic transitions, where the developed valley floor is bounded by the steep, forested slopes of Limestone Ridge and Blue Mountain. Cultural history is well-represented through several burial grounds, including Elmwood Cemetery and Elm Park Cem, along with rural identifiers like the Lone Oak Sch. Water management for the growing community is evident in the presence of Hartshorne Lake and various Sewage Disp Ponds. To the north, the smaller community of Dow sits near Dow Lake, while the eastern portion of the sheet transitions toward Number Ten Mountain at the Pittsburg Co and Latimer Co boundary.
