2013 Map of Keating

About this map

Keating sits at the significant confluence where Sinnemahoning Cr joins the West Br Susquehanna River, serving as a focal point for the region's river-based geography. This 2013 survey illustrates the deeply etched drainage patterns of the Allegheny Plateau, where numerous named hollows like Eightmile Dam Hollow and Log Slide Hollow hint at a history of timbering and resource extraction. The settlement of Bitumen remains a notable landmark on the eastern ridge, while the northern reaches are dominated by the waters of Kettle Creek Lake. Much of the riparian corridor is protected within Bucktail State Park, which follows the winding course of the creek and river. The map also traces various upland features such as Savage Mountain and Bushley Ridge, providing a clear view of the area's physical isolation and the way roads like Cooks Run Rd follow the narrow valley floors.
