About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek meets the West Branch Susquehanna River at the small community of Keating, forming a primary drainage junction in this heavily dissected plateau of Clinton County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep hollows and ridges, such as Lebo Ridge and Bushley Ridge, which historically dictated the paths of travel and early industry. To the northeast, the settlement of Bitumen sits near the head of Milligan Run, while Cooks Run serves as another focal point for local geography and naming.

Water management and conservation are visible through the presence of Kettle Cr Lake on Kettle Creek, surrounded by numerous named drainages like Bee Tree Draft and Eightmile Dam Hollow. The distribution of local roads like Cole Run Rd and Crawford Rd follows the natural contours of the land, providing access to high points such as Round Top Mtn and Savage Mtn in a region where the terrain once supported small-scale mining and timber operations.
