1992 Map of Bedminster

About this map

The rolling hills of northern Bucks County are defined by the winding course of Tohickon Creek, which expands into Nockamixon Lake within the Nockamixon State Park. This landscape reflects a long history of small-scale settlement, where narrow valleys like those of Mink Run and Deep Run are punctuated by crossroads hamlets such as Elephant, Pipersville, and Harrow. The terrain is dominated by Haycock Mtn and the heavily wooded State Game Lands No 157 in the north, providing a stark contrast to the agricultural patterns found in the southern townships of Bedminster and Plumstead. Significant community landmarks, including the Irish Meeting House and the St Johns Ch, speak to the deep religious roots of the area, while historical schoolhouses like Clay Ridge Sch and Smith Sch illustrate the decentralized rural education system that once served these dispersed farming families.
