2009 Map of Piqua

About this map

The settlement of Piqua sits at the heart of this Woodson County landscape, which remains defined by a strict grid of section roads and small agricultural communities. To the northwest, the Vernon Oil Field signals the presence of the region's petroleum industry, while the drainage of the Neosho River and Rock Creek carves a natural path through the otherwise structured prairie. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the small community of Athens to the west and the southern edge of Neosho Falls at the northern boundary. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-defined burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Saint Martins Cemetery and Iola Cemetery near Piqua, as well as the more remote Schaede Cemetery to the south.
