1947 Map of Pillow

About this map

Mahantango Creek and the riverfront town of Herndon anchor this mid-century survey of the Northumberland and Dauphin county borderlands. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Hooflander Mountain and Mahantango Mountain, which channel the movement of agriculture and commerce toward the Susquehanna River. Along the western edge, the Reading railroad follows the shoreline past Hoover Island and Whites Island, serving small settlements like Dundore and Dalmatia.
