2010 Map of Pittsburg

About this map

Pittsburg and the neighboring community of Frontenac dominate this landscape in southeast Kansas, characterized by a dense grid of residential streets and the expansive campus of Pittsburg State University. The geography is defined by a historical legacy of land use, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries scattered across the quadrangle, including Mount Olive Cemetery, Highland Park Cemetery, and Lone Star Cemetery. Small outlying settlements such as Chicopee, Dunkirk, and Yale ring the larger urban center, connected by a network of rural routes like W North County Rd and N Free Kings Hwy. Waterways like First Cow Creek and East Cow Creek meander through the terrain, while the Atkinson Municipal Airport serves as a prominent modern landmark in the western portion of the survey. The concentration of cemeteries and distinct small-town clusters reflects the region's long-established mining and agricultural settlement patterns.
