1910 Map of Bedford

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

The Allegheny Mountains create a formidable western barrier in this detailed 1910 survey of Bedford County, where small agricultural hamlets and post offices are scattered through the valleys of Dunning Creek and Adams Run. The map illustrates a rural landscape defined by one-room schoolhouses like the Eight Square School and Centennial School, which served the dispersed farming communities. Along the southern edge, the industrial influence of the Pennsylvania RR and the Raystown Branch Juniata River is evident near Manns Choice, where the topography softens into the Pigeon Hills. The presence of numerous mills, such as Mowrys Mills and Fryes Mill, highlights the local water-powered economy. Further north, the intersection of small-town life and early infrastructure is visible at Schellsburg and Pleasantville, providing genealogists a look at the county before the development of major modern highways through these mountain gaps.
