About this map

Tolar serves as the central hub of this Hood County landscape, situated where the Tolar Hwy and Hill City Hwy meet. The surrounding countryside is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Robinson Creek in the north and Squaw Creek to the south. Numerous family and community burial sites are scattered across the quadrangle, such as Martin Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Strouds Creek Cemetery, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, evidenced by several man-made features like Star Hollow Lake and Black Lake Number 7. Small dams such as the North Crites Dam and Faulkner Dam underscore the local efforts to harness seasonal flows from branches like Mule Branch and East Branch Wolf Creek. The road network, including names like Powell Cem Rd and Tolar Cemetery Rd, reflects the importance of these sites in the local historical geography.
