2013 Map of West Pike

About this map

West Pike and Sunderlinville serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this part of Hector Township, where the headwaters of Pine Cr and Genesee Forks carve deep into the plateau. The landscape is defined by a dense network of named hollows, such as Crandall Hollow, Judson Hollow, and Hardscrabble Hollow, which reveal the historical patterns of local land use and family homesteads. Higher elevations like Stiles Hill and Parker Hill overlook the narrow valley corridors where sr1004 and Old Route 6 provide the main thoroughfares. Rock Run Vista offers a look at the topographic character of the region, where numerous small brooks like Barn Brook and Thunder Run feed the primary drainages. The distribution of small settlements like Loucks Mills and Telescope alongside these watercourses suggests an era when local industry and agriculture were tied closely to the available water power and valley floor access.
