2018 Map of Kirkwood

About this map

Kirkwood and the southern outskirts of Pittsburg anchor this section of the Kansas landscape, where the border between Crawford and Cherokee counties bisects a region defined by agricultural plots and historical rural centers. The terrain is drained by a network of waterways including Cow Creek and its tributary E Cow Cr, alongside Brush Cr and Taylor Br. The map reveals a high concentration of community burial grounds, such as Crocker Cem, Bird Cem, and Lone Oak Cem, which often mark the sites of earlier population clusters. Settlements like Atlas, Kramer, and Langdon are linked by a grid of rural roads like NE Coal Valley Rd and NE Scammon Rd, reflecting a post-industrial landscape where coal-related place names persist even as the land has transitioned back to primary agricultural use.
