East Brady’s center stands about 1,140 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 820 ft to 1,480 ft, a difference of 660 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Myers Hill, about 1,560 ft, 10 miles northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Allegheny Formation (sandstone), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 27×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.

Sandstone, conglomerate. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in East Brady reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Allegheny, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 2,010 river miles.
970 miles of the trip are on the Ohio.
