1904 Map of Patton

About this map

Patton sits at the heart of this early twentieth-century landscape, where the Pennsylvania RR and several industrial divisions carve through the Allegheny mountains. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Chest Creek and Clearfield Creek, reflecting a region deeply tied to the extraction and transit of natural resources. Significant cultural and religious centers are scattered across the high ground, including St Bonifacius, St Lawrence, and St Augustine, serving the rural populations surrounding larger hubs like Hastings and Carrolltown. Industrial sites like Eckenrode Mill and Thomas Mills appear alongside specialized rail infrastructure such as Tunnel Siding and the Cresson and Irvona Branch. In the southeast, the topography becomes notably more dramatic as it approaches the Kittanning Gap and the headwaters of Burgoons Run, marking the transition into the Logan and Gallitzin regions.
