About this map

Susquehanna River islands and high ridges define this central Pennsylvania landscape, where the river serves as the western boundary between Snyder and Northumberland counties. Named islands such as Hoover Island, Bowers Island, and Carls Island sit in the broad channel across from the borough of Herndon. Inland, the terrain is marked by the sharp relief of Line Mtn and Hooflander Mtn, separated by the winding course of Mahanoy Creek.

Small agricultural and rail-linked settlements like Dornsife, Mandata, and Hickory Corners are connected by a network of valley roads including State Rte 3010 and Ferster Valley Rd. To the south, the borough of Pillow sits on the banks of Mahantango Creek, near the Northumberland and Dauphin county line. The map highlights the rural character of the region through landmarks like Saint Johns Cem and the Flying Eagle Airport, offering a clear view of the region's mid-2010s land use patterns.
