2014 Map of Calhoun

About this map

The southern outskirts of Magnolia give way to a landscape defined by the intersection of rural life and the petroleum industry in this 2014 survey. Resource extraction is a primary feature of the terrain, with the Columbia Oil and Gas Field and the Magnolia Oil and Gas Field occupying significant portions of the northern and central sections. Small, established communities like Brister, Calhoun, and Kerlin are connected by an extensive network of county roads, including Columbia Road 30 and Columbia Road 11 E, illustrating the late-modern settlement pattern of Columbia County. Natural drainage is dictated by numerous creeks and branches, most notably Horsehead Cr and the winding Little Cornie Bayou. For those researching local heritage, several historic burial grounds are noted across the quadrangle, including Kings Hill Cem, Jerusalem Cem, and Owen Cem.
