About this map

The northern reaches of Cambria County meet the Clearfield County line in a landscape defined by the deep valleys of Chest Creek and its many tributaries. The area is dense with legacy settlements and religious sites, such as the numerous cemeteries including Union Salem Cem and Saint Boniface Cem that dot the hillsides. The borough of Hastings serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller coal and timber-era hamlets like Swedetown, Slickport, and Cymbria.

Transport and commerce follow the natural drainage patterns, with roads like South Main Street and Low Grade Road shadowing the creek beds. On the southern edge of the survey, the larger community of Patton sits along Chest Creek, while the presence of Father's Love Airport near Saint Benedict illustrates the more modern land use of this rural interior. The map records a complex network of township roads and family-named landmarks like Driscoll Hollow and Sylvis.
