About this map

Clear Boggy Creek and its many tributaries define this section of Coal County, where a complex system of flood control dams regulates the watershed. The landscape is marked by several prominent family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including the Standing Rock Cemetery and Whitehall Cemetery. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Davis Mountain and Flagpole Mountain, providing a varied relief that contrasts with the low-lying basins of Sandy Creek and Watson Creek. Local aviation is represented by the Flying W Ranch Airport, while the intricate network of county roads, such as E 1800 RD, provides access to the dispersed rural homesteads. The hydrography is particularly notable for the numerous dam sites like Leader Middle Clear Boggy Creek 40 Dam and the remnants of the Old Channel, reflecting long-term efforts to manage the local water systems.
