• The USGS GNIS systems placement of the location of Kittanning Gap, is along a tributary of the Kittanning Run, not in the notch formed by the main stream. The black trace in this map forming a hairpin turn above the Lakes is the famous & historic Horseshoe Curve built by the Pennsylvania Railroad which crosses over four different streams sitting in the bottom end of water gaps in the view, and finishes its climb in a fifth, seen below in the next (zoomed out) map, just north of a sixth Blair Gap, where the historical Allegheny Portage Railroad climbed the Allegheny escarpment heading west.

المجاز gap، هي أرض تشكل نقطة منخفضة أومنفذ بين تلين أوجبلين أوضمن سلسلة تلال أوجبال. قد يُسمى شـِعـَب، ثـَلم، ممر، saddle، مجاز الماء، أو مجاز الريح، ومن الناحية الجيومورفولوجية، عادة ما يُنحت بعمل التعرية المائية من السيول، الجداول أوالأنهار. المجازات الناتجة عن السيول، إذا لم تكن طبيعية، غالباً ما تخلومن المياه معظم العام، حيث تعتمد جداولها على مياه الجليد المنصهرة من القمم الجليدية. المجازات النابعة من الينابيع تكون مرفقة بجدول صغير باستثناء الأوقات الاكثر جفافاً في العام.

• The Kittanning Gap gives this 'choice way' of climbing the escarpment to wagons or mule trains on the way to the west side of the Allegheny Mountains and Kittanning, PA along the Kittanning Path. Taking a right through the gap to climb up the escarpment was a bit easier than either steep narrow creek beds straight ahead..
