1969 Map of Lequire

About this map

The Sans Bois Mountains and Diamond Mountains dominate this landscape, reflecting the intense natural gas and coal extraction era of the late 1960s. The settlement of Lequire sits at the base of the northern slopes, where a Strip Mine and numerous gas wells point to the region's industrial focus. The map details the transition from the relatively flat terrain of Turkey Flat into the deeply incised valleys of Huckleberry Hollow and Panther Hollow. To the south, the village of Lodi is situated near the Haskell Co Latimer Co boundary, where a network of pipelines cuts through the foothills of Little Yancy Mountain. The presence of scattered Gravel Pit and Shale Pit locations along the creeks suggests a landscape shaped by local materials and energy production during this period.
