At the turn of the 20th century, the town of Lehigh in Coal County, Indian Territory (now, of course, Oklahoma) was really something.

Opened in 1931 and promptly unusable, the Red River bridge between Love and Cooke counties looked good, but that's about it.

In maps of the United States/Texas/North America between 1820 and 1825, I noticed a place along the Red River in former Miller County, Arkansas Territory called "Williams Settlement." I began a search that took me into the aftermath of a major earthquake.
