Pittsburg County at a glance: towns and land
Parcel searches in Pittsburg County tend to center on McAlester, the county seat, plus Haileyville, Hartshorne, Krebs, and Alderson. Out in the countryside, Adamson, Arpelar, and Bache appear as small knots of lots along the road network. The county was organized in 1907 and named for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds.

At that density most of the Pittsburg County map is farm and wooded ground, with smaller lots clustered around McAlester and along paved roads.
