1946 Map of Keating

About this map

Keating sits at the vital confluence where Sinnemahoning Creek joins the West Branch Susquehanna River, a location traditionally significant for both water transport and rail logistics. In this mid-century survey, the Penn Central railroad follows the winding riverbanks, connecting small outposts like Wistar and the hillside community of Bitumen. The landscape is dominated by heavy timber and steep relief, with prominent peaks like Savage Mountain and Round Top Mtn rising above the deep-cut valleys of Kettle Creek and its many tributaries.
