About this map

Parker serves as the primary landmark in this rural section of Coal County, situated near the confluence of several winding waterways. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage patterns of Muddy Boggy Cr and Caney Boggy Cr, which dominate the central and western portions of the quadrangle. These creeks, along with smaller tributaries like Sweetwater Cr and Rock Cr, create a highly dissected topography that has historically influenced the placement of local roads and farmsteads.

Family and local history is anchored by the presence of Pine Cem in the northwest and McCarty Cem further south. The transportation network is a grid of section-line roads, including Lonestar Church Rd and Pine and Legal Rd, providing access to the outlying rural properties. This survey captures the area's transition into the twenty-first century, maintaining its character as a remote ranching or agricultural landscape with little modern development beyond the established road system.
