1947 Map of Pittsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Pittsburg and its surrounding coalfields dominate this 1940s landscape, where industrial extraction and rural education coexist along the Kansas-Missouri border. The region is heavily marked by Strip Mines, particularly around Mindenmines and Frontenac, creating a distinct topography of excavated pits and tailing mounds. This industrial footprint is interlaced with a dense network of early transportation, including the Kansas City Southern, Missouri Pacific, and St Louis San Francisco railroads that hauled minerals from the district.
