About this map

Coalgate serves as the central hub of this Coal County landscape, where the street grid converges at the intersection of State Highway 31, 43, and 75. The town's historical foundations are visible in the surrounding settlements of Cottonwood and Phillips, along with numerous local burial grounds such as Calvary Cem, Woodman Cem, and the Coalgate Cem to the north. These sites, along with the Ott Cem near the northern boundary, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, featuring several large impoundments including the Coalgate Reservoir, Caney Coon Cr Site 1 Reservoir, and Cook and McEntire Reservoir. These man-made features contrast with the natural meandering of Muddy Boggy Cr and Caney Cr. Transportation infrastructure is anchored by the City of Coalgate Airport 17/35 and a network of rural roads that connect distant points like Cairo to the regional center.
