1952 Map of Lancing

About this map

Hatfield Mountain and the deep incisions of the Obed River and Clear Creek dominate this 1952 landscape, where the plateaus of Morgan County meet the Crab Orchard Mountains. The settlement of Lancing sits along the Cincinnati New Orleans & Texas Pacific RR, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural communities of Price and Catoosa. The map captures a transition in land use, from family-run operations like Howard Mill and local crossings at Alley Ford to the industrial presence of numerous Strip Mines north of the river.
