About this map

Patton and its neighboring settlements occupy this landscape where the Whitewater River and Little Whitewater River converge in northern Bollinger County. Published in 1960 from aerial data and a 1959 field check, the survey reveals a rural Missouri community defined by small agricultural clusters and localized institutions. The transition from the more established Patton to the newer Patton Junction reflects the mid-century influence of highway development on local geography.

Deeply rooted community markers are visible throughout the region, including Oak Grove Sch, Bess Sch, and Geiles Sch, alongside several country churches such as Pine Hill Ch and Reagan Chapel. The northern boundary of the map transitions into the St Marys National Forest Boundary, marking a shift from the farmed river valleys near North Patton and Conrad toward the more heavily timbered lands along the Perry County line.
