2010 Map of Bedford

About this map

The Raystown Branch Juniata River snakes through the heart of Bedford County, anchoring a landscape where modern transportation corridors intersect with colonial-era history. This 2010 survey highlights the enduring presence of local landmarks like the Claycomb Covered Bridge and Herline Covered Bridge, which stand alongside the modern expansion of Bedford. The topography is dominated by the Pigeon Hills and Kinton Knob, where the Kinton Knob Fire Tower provides a vertical point of reference over the valley floor. Small hamlets and crossroads such as Wolfsburg, Manns Choice, and Fishertown maintain their distinct identities even as residential and commercial development spreads from the county seat. Water management is a defining feature of the area, seen in the large Shawnee Lake within Shawnee State Park and specialized reservoirs like the John C Smith Reservoir and Milburn Spring Reservoir serving the surrounding communities.
