About this map

Coalgate serves as the focal point of this region, anchored by the Coal County Courthouse and its grid of residential streets. The settlement pattern extends southward toward Phillips and includes the smaller communities of Cottonwood and Cairo. This landscape is defined by its water management and drainage, with numerous reservoirs and creek systems like Muddy Boggy Cr and Coon Creek shaping the topography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, ranging from the central Coalgate Cem and Calvary Cem to the more outlying Woodman Cem and Ott Cem. The presence of the City of Coalgate Airport and the county's southern boundary with Atoka Co further delineate the area's civic and physical borders. The transition from the developed town center to the surrounding agricultural and wooded lands is marked by a network of rural roads such as Polk Rd and Jones Rd.
