About this map

Bedford serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, situated where the Raystown Branch Juniata River meets the valley floor between Wills Mtn and the ridges of Pigeon Hills. The landscape is defined by its historic transit corridors, including the path of the river and the arterial routes through Wolfsburg and Cessna. This modern update documents the enduring rural character of the county seat, preserved in landmarks like the Claycomb Covered Bridge and the Herline Covered Bridge.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed mapping of burial sites across the township, from the central Bedford Cem and Old Presbyterian Graveyard to smaller rural plots like the Anderson Cem and Mount Ross Cem. The settlement pattern remains largely anchored to these traditional hubs and river crossings, even as infrastructure like the Bedford County Airport and interstate highways have integrated with the older road network of Napier and Springhope.
