2016 Map of West Pike

About this map

West Pike serves as a central point along the winding course of Pine Creek in this northern Pennsylvania landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of branching valleys, or hollows, such as Hardscrabble Hollow, Judson Hollow, and Crandall Hollow, which drain the high ridges of Stiles Hill and Parker Hill. The settlement pattern follows the water, with Loucks Mills situated at the confluence of Genesee Forks and Dry Run, while Sunderlinville anchors the eastern edge of the map near Phoenix Run. These small communities and family-named landmarks illustrate the historical reliance on narrow valley floors for transportation and habitation. Higher elevations offer vantage points like Rock Run Vista and Telescope, overlooking the complex hydrology of Johnson Brook and Stonylick Run that eventually feed into the larger creek system.
