1946 Map of Keating

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The confluence of the Sinnemahoning Creek and the West Branch Susquehanna River anchor this mid-century mapping of Clinton County. This area is defined by the steep-walled valleys of the Allegheny Plateau, where the settlement of Keating sits at the vital junction of river and rail. The New York Central railroad follows the winding riverbanks, providing a lifeline through the narrow hollows of Savage Mountain and Bushley Ridge. To the east, the community of Bitumen reflects the region's industrial ties, likely connected to the numerous branches and drafts like Huling Branch and Lick Run that cut through the high ridges. This map documents a landscape where transportation was strictly dictated by the deep incisions of Kettle Creek and its many tributaries, such as Cooks Run and Bee Tree Draft, before the expansion of modern highway networks.
