About this map

Pomeroy serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, situated along the course of Pataha Creek in Garfield County. The town's layout at this time reveals a mix of civic and religious landmarks, including the Holy Rosary Sch, the IOOF Cem, and Ferrell Field. Outside the main settlement, the landscape transitions into the distinctive agricultural plateaus of Pataha Flat and Dutch Flat, which are bisected by numerous gulches and canyons such as Day Gulch and Benjamin Gulch.

The presence of the County Fairgrounds in Butler Valley and the isolated Pataha Flat Cemetery suggests a community where social and family life was closely tied to the geography of the surrounding wheat country. Notable water sources like Bihmaier Springs and the network of unimproved roads like Hutchens Hill Road illustrate the connectivity required to manage these upland farms and remote rural sections.
