1961 Map of Coal Hill

Rural life is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including the uniquely named Possum Walk Cem, Huddleston Cem, and Srygley Cem. To the north, the land rises into the White Oak region, where McKinney Creek and Dirty Creek drain southward toward the river. Near the southern boundary, the McLean Bottom Cutoff and Okane Island mark the shifting course of the river, while Alix Pond sits near the small settlement of Alix.
