About this map

Patterson Creek and its many branches form the central drainage system of this Grant County landscape, winding through a series of gaps and hollows. The rural character of the region is anchored by small settlements like Lahmansville and Medley, each maintaining its own identity with dedicated facilities such as the Lahmansville Post Office and the Medley Post Office. The map reveals a complex water management system featuring numerous flood control structures, including the Patterson Creek Structure 41 Dam and Patterson Creek Structure 12 Dam, which sit among the agricultural valleys.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with routes like Knobley Rd and Patterson Creek Rd connecting the scattered hamlets of Forman, Martin, and Williamsport. Distinctive geological features define the western edge of the quadrangle, notably the dramatic openings at Greenland Gap and Falls Gap, where the North Fork Patterson Creek breaks through the ridge line near the village of Falls.
