1971 Map of Bedford

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Raystown Branch Juniata River and Dunning Creek converge near the growing borough of Bedford, a landscape where mid-century transportation infrastructure meets deep-rooted Pennsylvania settlements. The topography is defined by the massive ridges of Wills Mountain and Chestnut Ridge, which channel development into valleys containing villages like Wolfsburg, Cessna, and Napier. This 1970s record highlights the evolution of regional travel, documenting the Pennsylvania Turnpike and its Interchange 11 alongside the remnants of a dismantled railroad network. Local landmarks of interest to genealogists include St Pauls Cem, St Lukes Ch, and the Bedford Memorial Gardens. To the west, the man-made Shawnee Lake within Shawnee State Park represents a significant recreational shift in the valley, contrasting with the industrial presence of a Quarry and various Gravel Pits found near Belden.
