1904 Map of Patton

About this map

Patton stands at the center of this early twentieth-century survey, where the Pennsylvania R. R. follows the winding course of Chest Creek. This portion of the Allegheny Front is defined by its deep relationship with the extraction industry and rail transport, evidenced by the Mitchell Mines near Hastings and the numerous rail sidings and junctions like Tunnel Siding and Bradley Junction. The landscape is dotted with Catholic cultural footprints in settlements such as St Bonifacius, St Augustine, and Carrolltown, reflecting the immigrant labor patterns of the northern Cambria County coal fields.
