Pittsburg anchors this 1950s landscape, revealing a city defined by its educational institutions and intensive industrial history. The presence of Kansas State College of Pittsburg and schools such as Lakeside Sch and Lincoln Sch underscore the town's role as a regional center. Surrounding the urban core, the terrain is heavily marked by extensive Strip Mine operations and tailings, particularly near Frontenac and Yale. The mapping of reclaimed areas highlights the evolving relationship between the local economy and the land.
