1971 Map of Alum Bank

About this map

Bobs Creek and Dunning Creek carve through the parallel ridges of Bedford County, anchoring a landscape defined by small valley settlements and upland forests. This 1971 survey highlights the rural infrastructure of the era, from the concentration of civic life at Alum Bank and Osterburg to the specialized land use seen at the Fish Hatchery near Reynoldsdale. The map captures several Covered Bridge crossings that remained vital components of the local road network, alongside numerous family and community landmarks like Friends Cem and Horne Ch.
