About this map

Cow Cr and its tributaries, including First Cow Cr and Second Cow Cr, define the drainage patterns of this eastern Kansas landscape. The area around Pittsburg and Frontenac shows a dense grid of local roads and thoroughfares such as N Free King Hwy and W McKay St. Cultural and civic landmarks are prominent, including the sprawling campus of Pittsburg State Univ and the Atkinson Municipal Airport to the west.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, from the Lone Star Cem in the north to Zion Cem and Mount Olive Cem further south. Smaller outlying settlements like Chicopee, Yale, and Dunkirk illustrate the peripheral residential clusters surrounding the main urban center. The inclusion of the Pittsburg State University Veteran's Memorial Amphitheater reflects the community's modern institutional development.
