About this map

Beulah and Coiltown anchor this portion of Hopkins County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Pond Creek and Clear Creek. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, reflecting generations of local history through sites like Irving Howton Cem, Brinkley Cem, and Ramsey Cem. These sites are often found near prominent terrain features such as Frazier Ridge and Stony Point.

The southern portion of the map includes the settlement of Sixth Vein, a name that alludes to the region's deep ties to the coal industry. Roadways like Schmetzer Crossing Rd and Rabbit Ridge Rd connect these small clusters of activity, moving across a network of wetlands and creeks including Weirs Creek and Lick Creek. The placement of Old Beulah Cem near the modern Beulah settlement provides a clear point for genealogical mapping and tracing the evolution of this rural community.
