2011 Map of Pittsville

About this map

Pittsville and Columbus anchor this rural landscape in Johnson County, where the topography is defined by the converging branches of the Blackwater River system. The NW U.S. Highway 50 corridor cuts diagonally across the northern half of the region, providing a modern transit artery through an area otherwise shaped by a dense grid of secondary roads such as NW 700th Rd and NW 200th Rd. The drainage pattern is complex, with the North Fork Blackwater River and South Fork Blackwater River winding through the terrain alongside smaller tributaries like Little Creek and Butcher Branch. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of Blackwater Cemetery near the center of the sheet and Haymaker Cemetery to the southeast offers specific points of interest for genealogical research in this predominantly agricultural portion of Missouri.
