About this map

Crocker Cem and Bird Cem stand as significant markers in this Crawford County landscape, reflecting the long-settled rural character of the area northwest of Pittsburg. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cow Cr and its tributaries, including Taylor Br and Brush Cr, which cut through a grid of section roads.

Tiny settlements and named localities like Kirkwood, Atlas, Kramer, and Kniveton are distributed across the quadrangle, illustrating the dispersed nature of agricultural and mining-era communities in southeast Kansas. The prevalence of cemeteries, such as Lone Oak Cem and the distinct Old Pleasant View Cem and New Pleasant View Cem, provide a dense concentration of sites for genealogical research, anchoring the history of local families to specific corners like Council Corner.
