1946 Map of Keating

About this map

Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deep valley through the high ridges of Clinton County, meeting the West Branch Susquehanna River at a sharp bend near Wistar. This landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the mid-20th century, notably the Alvin R Bush Dam on Kettle Creek, which was designed for flood control and significantly altered the local hydrology. The arrival of the Penn Central railroad following the river corridor highlights the area's importance as a transportation artery through the plateau.
