1947 Map of Pillow

About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the western edge of this 1947 landscape, where a series of prominent landmasses like Hoover Island and Whites Island break the wide river channel near Herndon. The topography is dominated by the long, parallel ridges of Mahanoy Mountain, Hoof Ander Ridge, and Fisher Ridge, which dictate the east-west orientation of local travel and agriculture. Small settlements and crossroads like Pillow, Mandata, and Hickory Cross Roads are connected by rural roads that navigate these elevations.
