Mount Pisgah is a typical end-ridge formed by a watercourse gap. Pisgah Mountain is but one average folded mountain in a succession of near parallel ridgelines, where each are made by a succession of peaks of nearly the same height. This
Ridge and Valley province is a geological feature that extends from New Jersey into Virginia forming a great barrier of successive valleys. Pisgah Mountain, located along the southern fringe of northeastern Pennsylvania's
Poconos region is also central to the Southern Anthracite Region of Pennsylvania— known as the site of the
Richest Anthracite Seam, in the heart of the
Southern Pennsylvania Anthracite Field and the geological province known as the
Anthracite Upland section. The ridgeline parallels the escarpment of the
Blue Mountain region but unlike that barrier with several major cuttings, Mount Pisgah is a divide between waters running southwesterly in the historic
Panther Creek (Pennsylvania). ==References==
