About this map

Coalgate serves as the central hub of this Coal County landscape, where the town's grid meets a complex network of waterways and industrial sites. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of Muddy Boggy Creek and its many tributaries, including Coon Creek, Caney Creek, and Sulphur Creek. This geography is punctuated by several man-made water bodies and infrastructure projects such as Gill Lake, Bill Lake Dam, and the Cook Lake Dam, reflecting local water management and recreation patterns in the early 21st century.

Evidence of the area's namesake industry is prominent throughout the quadrangle. Modern and historical mining footprints are visible at the Phillips Strip Mine, Sandmann Mine Number 2, and Mine Number 21. For genealogists and local historians, the map accurately locates several community landmarks, including Calvary Cemetery, Woodman Cemetery, and Ott Cemetery, alongside the Coalgate Municipal Airport, which marks the town's southern expansion.
