2022 Map of Paton

About this map

Paton anchors the southeastern corner of this modern topographic study, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous small tributaries. The town is situated at a point of relative elevation above the Devils Fork and E Buttrick Cr. Further north, the unincorporated community of Lena sits near the county line, illustrating the sparse but persistent settlement patterns of this agrarian region. The map highlights the intricate drainage network crossing the Iowa prairie, featuring labels for W Buttrick Cr, Tank Pond Cr, and Lost Br. For local history and genealogy, the Dawson Cem provides a specific point of interest along Co HWY e18. The rectangular survey system is clearly visible, with a grid of gravel and paved roads like 370th ST and 150th ST partitioning the land into uniform sections across the Webster Co Greene Co boundary.
