1967 Map of Pittsburg

About this map

The town of Pittsburg sits at the northern foot of Kiowa Mountain, where the local landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the valley floor and the dramatic ridges of Limestone Ridge and Pine Mountain. This late-1960s survey illustrates a region shaped by resource extraction and evolving transportation, featuring a prominent Mine and an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these hills to wider markets. While older landmarks like Union Chapel and three distinct burial grounds—Pittsburg Cem, Calvary Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem—point to established community roots, the arrival of the Indian Nation Toll Road Turnpike slicing through the eastern hills signals a modern era for the county. Water is central to the area's layout, from the engineered Pittsburg Lake and Storrie Lake to the natural winding course of Brushy Creek.
