About this map

The settlement of Damon sits at a crossroads in the northern reaches of the San Bois Mountains, where the landscape transitions into high ridges and narrow creek valleys. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by significant elevations like Blue Mtn and Bobcat Ridge, providing a clear view of how local roads such as Damon Valley Rd navigate the challenging topography. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the location of the Damon Cem and the Veterans Memorial Park, reflecting the community's established roots in Latimer County.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with the Fourche Maline Creek-Site 7 Reservoir dominating the northern edge and several drainages like Gaines Cr and Anderson Cr carving through the valleys. The map documents a network of named rural routes, including Dorothy Johnson Rd and Yourman Rd, which connect remote homesteads to the primary thoroughfares. To the southeast, the terrain climbs toward Eightmile Mtn, overlooking the deep incision of Long Boggs Hollow.
