2019 Map of Keating Summit

About this map

Keating Summit sits at the high point of this landscape, marking a significant divide between the waters of the Allegheny Portage Creek and Sinnemahoning Portage Creek. This terrain, defined by deep drainage systems like Planing Mill Hollow and Slabtown Hollow, highlights the historical importance of the portage routes through the Allegheny Plateau. The border between McKean and Potter counties is clearly delineated, passing through County Line Hollow. Local genealogy and history can be traced through the Portage Valley Cem near Wrights, while the higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Lookout Mtn and the access roads for the Fox Mt Fire Tower Rd. This survey preserves the modern road network, including Port Emporium Rd, laid over a land defined by narrow hollows and numerous mountain runs.
