2011 Map of Patterson

About this map

Patterson sits at the heart of this Wayne County landscape, where the Saint Francis River flows along the eastern edge and numerous tributaries carve through the upland terrain. The map captures a high density of rural genealogy sites, including the Sparks Cemetery, English Cemetery, and Julian Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Damon, Rings, and Kyles. The drainage patterns of Logan Creek, Rings Creek, and Little Lake Creek define the local geography, with various small impoundments such as Little Hawaiis Lake and A O Shearrer Lake marking the modern development of the watershed. Notable landmarks like the Julian Lookout Tower on the southern heights and Neelys Mill near the town center reflect a mix of early 21st-century conservation infrastructure and historic local industry. Prominent summits including Daffron Mountain and Frenchman Hill rise above the winding network of county roads that link these isolated Ozark communities.
