Sidneys Knob is unique in that is an atypical mountain for Pennsylvania. Most of the mountains in the Commonwealth are long linear ridges or flatted topped plateau mountains. Sidneys Knob is conical in shape and besides Gillespie Point in the northern part of Pennsylvania, the only one of its kind. This "knob" is the cultimation of Cove Mountain and Scrub Ridge.

The mountain is seen on postcards, mainly viewed from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, as vehicles exit out of the Tuscarora Mountain Tunnel. Sometimes referred to as "Pyramid Point" or on early postcards as Henry's Knob, this landmark is one of the most noted on the turnpike.
