2011 Map of Cahill Mountain

About this map

Patit sits at the junction of several drainage systems in the Blue Mountain foothills of Columbia County. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of North Patit Creek and West Patit Creek, which slice through the plateau. A network of rural roads such as Malcolm Grade Rd and Starveout Rd connect the high ridges and deep hollows, tracing the difficult terrain between the creek beds and the high point at Cahill Mountain. Local landmarks like Pioneer Memorial Park and the Thorn Lookout Tower indicate a mix of community gathering spaces and forest management. This 2011 survey reveals how the modern road network follows historic natural corridors through Lewis Hollow and along Starvout Ridge.
