1957 Map of Lehigh

About this map

Extensive Strip Mine operations dominate the landscape between Lehigh and Phillips, revealing the heavy industrial footprint on Coal County during the mid-20th century. The settlement at Lehigh is flanked by the Lehigh Cem and Old Lehigh Cem, reflecting the deep roots of this mining community. To the south, the terrain shifts into Atoka County, marked by the waters of Atoka Lake and the Atoka Landing Field. The map captures a transition from industrial coal extraction to more rural areas characterized by dispersed landmarks like Macedonia Ch and Macedonia Sch. Numerous creeks, including Muddy Boggy Creek and Coal Creek, carve through the region, while the southern edge shows the growth of Atoka near its local schools and infrastructure. This document provides an essential record of the local infrastructure and the environmental impact of the region's mining history.
