2019 Map of Chicora

About this map

Chicora and the surrounding Butler County highlands are characterized by a network of steep-sided valleys carved by Buffalo Creek, Sugar Creek, and Patterson Creek. The region is dotted with historic settlements like Karns City, Kaylor, and Bradys Bend, reflecting a long-standing pattern of ridge-and-valley habitation. Genealogists will find a wealth of data across several rural burial grounds, including the Saint Patricks Cem and the Oak Grove / Saint Pauls United Church of Christ Cem. The landscape is tied together by arterial routes such as Kittanning Pike and Chicora Road, which connect the small crossroads communities and family-named locations like Kepples Corners and Browns Crossroads. Industrial and aviation history are represented by the presence of Waltman Airport, while the remote corners of the map maintain their rural character near Fosters Mills and Rattigan.
