About this map

Pittsburg and the nearby community of Blanco anchor this 2016 study of southeastern Oklahoma, where the landscape transitions from the developed corridors of the Turnpike to the relief of Limestone Ridge. The area is marked by numerous historic burial grounds, including Pittsburg Cem, Calvary Cem, and the more isolated Union Chapel Cem to the south. These sites, along with Pleasant Valley Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this part of the county.

Water management and natural terrain dictate the local geography, from the heights of Pine Mtn to the low-lying Pounds Valley. Engineered reservoirs like Burshy Peaceable Cr Site 16 Reservoir and Brushy-Peaceable Cr Site 17 Reservoir sit alongside natural features such as Brush Narrows and Pittsburg Lake. The map details a dense network of county roads, such as Staples Rd and Blanco Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and ranches of this rural landscape.
