1963 Map of Pittsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Pittsburg serves as the central hub of this Southern Illinois landscape during the early 1960s, situated just south of the Franklin and Williamson County line. The area's industrial character is defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad line and energy extraction sites like the Freeman No 4 Mine and scattered Oil Wells. Community life is anchored by a dense network of rural institutions, including the Lincoln Sch and numerous country churches such as Williams Prairie Ch and Union Grove Ch. Water features like Johnston City Lake and Crab Orchard Creek provide the primary drainage for the undulating terrain. Small rural clusters at Corinth, Paulton, and Attila are clearly documented, often accompanied by family-named landmarks like Harris Cem and Murphey Cem, offering precise data points for genealogical research and local history studies.
