1969 Map of Quinton South

About this map

The northern slopes of the San Bois Mountains dominate this late-1960s landscape, where natural resource extraction and conservation exist side-by-side. Near the Haskell and Latimer county lines, the topography transitions from the high peaks of Tucker Knob and Panther Mountain down to the industrial activity surrounding Quinton and Lewisville. Evidence of the area's coal-mining history is visible through multiple Strip Mine and Mines labels, alongside an Old Railroad Grade that once served these operations. To the south, the terrain becomes more sequestered within the boundaries of Robbers Cave State Park. Here, the land is defined by water and recreation, featuring Lake Wayne Wallace, Rough Canyon, and Youth Camp No 2. This survey captures the region as it balanced its identity between a hard-working mining district and a growing destination for outdoor exploration.
