About this map

Pittsfield serves as the focal point of this Pike County landscape, where the street grid radiates from the intersection of W Washington St and S Jackson St. The town's historical depth is evident in its primary burial grounds, Oakwood Cem and Pittsfield West Cem, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with numerous small family and community cemeteries. To the north, Pine Lake and the waters of Bay Cr drain the undulating terrain, which transitions into a patchwork of rural homesteads and agricultural plots.

Outside the main township, small clusters such as Martinsburg, Independence, and Sunny Hill mark the intersections of a dense network of township roads. The topographic data reveals a landscape defined by significant drainage systems including Honey Cr and Buckeye Cr, where the creek beds have carved distinct valleys through the prairie. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered rural cemeteries like Waggoner Cem and Burbridge Cem, which remain as physical links to the early settlement patterns of the region.
