2023 Map of Carrolltown

About this map

Carrolltown and its surrounding Cambria County countryside are defined by a high-elevation landscape of ridge-top settlements and winding stream valleys. This 2023 survey illustrates the dense religious and educational heritage of the region, anchored by Saint Francis University and several significant burial grounds, including the Original Sisters of Mercy Cem and the Saint Francis University Franciscan Friar Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by watercourses like Chest Creek and the West Branch Susquehanna River, with early industrial sites like Eckenrode Mill and transportation hubs such as Strohmier Airport marking the transition between rural farmland and established villages. Smaller crossroads and mining-era communities like Bakerton, Elmora, and Bradley Junction remain clearly delineated, showing a settlement pattern that follows the high ground of the Allegheny Plateau.
