2012 Map of Summer Hill

About this map

Summer Hill and the small settlements of Atlas and New Hartford anchor this portion of Pike County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Ambrosia Cr and Atlas Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the area is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including Taylor Martin Cem, Shinn Cem, and Wombles Cem. In the southwestern corner, the topography shifts near The Sny and Spatterdock Lake, reflecting the low-lying hydrology near the Mississippi river bottomlands. Cultural markers of the modern era are also present, such as the Clark 54 Drive-In, which stands along the route between Summer Hill and Atlas. The network of township roads, including Dutch-Town Rd and Ambrosier Rd, connects these rural communities across a terrain of creeks like Crozier Cr and Dutch Cr.
