1950 Map of Keating Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Keating Summit sits at the high point of this Pennsylvania landscape, where the Pennsylvania RR and Pennsylvania 155 trace the winding path of Portage Creek. The 1950 survey reveals a topography defined by steep hollows and high points like Lookout Mountain and Fox Mountain, the latter of which features a designated Fire Tower. Small settlements such as Liberty, Wrights, and Hamilton are concentrated along the narrow valley floors, illustrating a typical Appalachian settlement pattern where commerce and transit follow the drainage of the Allegheny River and Sinnemahoning Creek. The map documents numerous named local features such as Slabtown Hollow and Planing Mill Hol, which hint at the region's industrial and logging history. The meticulous delineation of McKean and Potter County lines provides a clear record of administrative boundaries as they integrated with the natural terrain during the mid-century.
