2016 Map of Ashland

About this map

Ashland serves as the primary settlement on this Pittsburg County landscape, situated near the intersection of several rural roads. The area is defined by its numerous creeks and hollows, including Sassafras Creek and Hominy Creek, which drain the varied topography of Bethel Hill and Yellow Hill. For those researching family history, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Ashland Cemetery, Ward Springs Cemetery, and Bohannon Cemetery, reflecting the long-established rural community structure of the region. A notable modern landmark is the Flying H Airport, located west of the small settlement of Ward Springs. The map also captures the political geography of the area, showing the meeting points of Hughes, Pittsburg, and Coal counties, which often influenced early commerce and property lines.
