2016 Map of Carrolltown

About this map

Carrolltown and Loretto anchor this mid-2010s survey of the Alleghenies, where the landscape is defined by the high ground of Dividing Ridge and the winding course of Chest Creek. The area’s character is a blend of academic tradition at Saint Francis Univ, rural crossroads like Bakers Crossroad, and industrial history suggested by the name Eckenrode Mill. Water management is prominent through features like the Carrolltown Reservoir, Bakerton Reservoir, and City Reservoir Number Two, which serve the clustered settlements along the primary north-south corridors. In the south, smaller hamlets such as Driscoll and Winterset line the roads leading toward Loretto Road, while localized aviation is represented by Strittmatter Airport and Strohmier Airport. This map captures a modern view of a region where the geography of the Susquehanna and Blacklick Creek headwaters has long dictated the placement of roads and towns.
