About this map

Pittsburg serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, where the street grid of the county seat transitions into a rural landscape defined by creek drainage and family-named cemeteries. The map traces a complex network of watercourses, including Prairie Cr and Little Cr, which move through the rolling terrain toward the Camp Co / Upshur Co border. Small settlements like Pine and Union Ridge dot the countryside, while localized landmarks such as Cary Martin Springs and Twin Lakes provide specific points of reference for those familiar with the regional geography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from Rosehill Cem near the city center to more secluded locations like Bolton Cem and Smart Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions toward higher ground at Howell Mtn, illustrating the varied topography of the Piney Woods region. This 2019 survey documents the intersection of modern road infrastructure with long-established rural communities such as Ebenezer.
