Tussey Mountain dominates this portion of Bedford County, forming a massive natural barrier that dictated the development of the region's early transportation and industry. The Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad snakes along the banks of the Raystown Branch Juniata River, connecting mining and industrial outposts like Riddlesburg, Hopewell, and Saxton. These settlements were vital nodes for extracting resources from the surrounding ridges, while the broader valleys to the west supported agricultural communities such as New Enterprise and Lafayetteville.
