About this map

The Raystown Branch Juniata River flows through the northern reaches of this Bedford County landscape, where the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts across the ridge-and-valley terrain. Significant local heritage is preserved in the small settlements and religious landmarks scattered throughout the townships of Juniata, Harrison, and Londonderry. In the central valley, the Penn Central railroad parallels Wills Creek, connecting the hamlets of Buffalo Mills, Bard, and Madley.

Genealogical interest is found in numerous rural congregations and burial sites, including Pleasant Ridge Ch and St James Cem. The topography is dominated by prominent elevations such as Buffalo Mountain and Wills Mountain, which frame the agricultural and industrial activity of the Cumberland Valley. Land use here is a mix of traditional farming, resource extraction at the Gravel Pit, and conservation within State Game Lands No 48 and State Game Lands No 104.
