2020 Map of Oakman

About this map

Oakman and its surrounding communities are defined by a complex terrain of named ridges and hollows in Walker County. This survey highlights the traditional settlement patterns along the Wolf Cr and Blue Water Cr drainages, where historical hamlets like Coal Valley, Patton, and Corona established themselves within the topographic folds. The landscape is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, from Clemments Mtn to The Backbone. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Oakman Cem, Swindle Cem, and the poignantly named Infant Hill Cem. The road network, including Lockhart Hill Rd and McLaughlin Mill Rd, reflects the area's transition from early industrial and timber routes to contemporary local access, crossing the Fayette and Walker County line.
