About this map

Chest Creek winds through the heart of this northern Cambria County landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and crossroads that define the region's rural character. In the southern portion of the sheet, the borough of Patton and the town of Hastings serve as primary hubs, surrounded by several smaller named locales including Slickport, Swedetown, and Saint Boniface. The distribution of these places suggests a history of localized industry and community centers, often connected by the winding routes of Brubaker Run and Little Chest Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find several notable burial sites, such as Saint Bernard Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery near the outskirts of the larger towns. Further north, the terrain becomes more varied around Driscoll Hollow, leading toward the Saint Lawrence Lookout Tower and isolated settlements like Garway and Sylvis. The map provides a detailed view of the road network, including historic corridors like Low Grade Rd and the Saint Lawrence Rd, which link these upland communities to the valley mills and residences.
