1967 Map of Buffalo Mills

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Buffalo Mills and the surrounding valley in Bedford County are defined by the convergence of steep Appalachian ridges and active transportation corridors. During the late 1960s, the Penn Central railroad and the Pennsylvania Turnpike carved through the landscape, bypassing smaller settlements like Kegg, Madley, and West End. The map reveals a deeply established rural community, evidenced by the numerous local houses of worship and burying grounds such as St James Cem, Lybarger Ch, and Pleasant Ridge Ch. These cultural landmarks are often found nestled in the gaps between massive landforms like Buffalo Mountain and Wills Mountain. Significant portions of the territory are dedicated to conservation and recreation, including State Game Lands No 48 and State Game Lands No 104, while localized industries are represented by a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary.
