After a few tenths of a mile, the creek's valley narrows and it turns southwest for a few tenths of a mile.

Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Keeler Creek is 554 ft above sea level. The elevation of the creek's source is between 980 and 1000 ft above sea level.

The surficial geology in the vicinity of the lower reaches of Keeler Creek mainly consist of alluvium (containing stratified sand, silt, and gravel), Wisconsinan Outwash, and sand and gravel pits with steep sides that can be dozens of feet deep. Further upstream, the surficial geology mainly consists of a glacial or resedimented till known as Wisconsinan Till. However, a small patch of alluvium is also present in this reach.

Keeler Creek is a small stream that in 1827 was described as being able to support mills.
