2016 Map of Hastings

About this map

Hastings and Patton serve as the primary hubs in this section of the Allegheny Plateau, where the headwaters of Chest Creek carve through the high terrain of northern Cambria County. The map documents a cluster of traditional settlements, including the coal-country communities of Saint Benedict, Swedetown, and Slickport, alongside the Clearfield County line near Westover. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages like Driscoll Hollow and numerous tributaries such as Brubaker Run and Rogues Harbor Run. For genealogists, the map identifies several religious and community landmarks, including Saint Bernard Cem and Saint Marys Cem. The presence of Father's Love Airport and a dense network of local roads like Strip Rd and K B J Coal Rd reflects the modern industrial and residential patterns of this historically resource-rich region.
