About this map

Limestone Ridge and New State Mountain dominate this landscape in Pittsburg County, showing a rugged terrain where drainage systems like Peaceable Creek and Brushy Creek have carved distinct valleys. The area’s rural social fabric is anchored by small congregations at High Hill Ch, Peaceable Valley Ch, and Brushy Ch. Settlement patterns follow the lowlands and the remnants of industrial infrastructure, evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade and an Old Grade that suggest earlier eras of resource extraction or timber transport. Sparse settlements at Craig and Bond contrast with the natural landmarks of the southern reaches, most notably the Natural Arch and the adjacent Arch site. This 1960s survey records a moment of transition where traditional land use, represented by scattered cemeteries and gas wells, exists alongside newer utility corridors like the Pipeline crossing the central hills.
