Summary/Abstract: The article presents the morphological changes of the former, post-glacial riverbeds of the Pilica River between Domaniewice and Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą on the basis of cartographic materials from 1802–2017. The aim of the article was also to assign the Pilica to a specific type of bed based on its characteristic morphological features. It has been shown that the nature of the river valley bottom, as well as the Pilica bed itself, was largely influenced by the construction of the Sulejowski Reservoir.
