2016 Map of Coalgate

About this map

Coalgate serves as the central hub of this Coal County landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by a complex network of reservoirs and creek systems. To the north and west of the city, a series of water management sites including the Coalgate Reservoir, Caney Coon Creek Site 2 Reservoir, and Caney-Coon Cr Site 3 Reservoir indicate a highly engineered hydrological environment designed to support the surrounding settlements. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, such as Ott Cem and Woodman Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. Smaller communities like Cottonwood and Phillips sit in close proximity to the county seat, while the broader rural area is drained by Muddy Boggy Cr and Sulphur Cr. The presence of the City of Coalgate Airport west of the main town center highlights the regional infrastructure at the time of this survey.
