About this map

The Raystown Branch Junata River carves a dramatic, winding path through the center of this 1968 study, defining the landscape of central Bedford County. To the west, the borough of Everett serves as a primary hub of activity, featuring the Everett-Southern High Sch, the Everett Cemetery, and a Radio Station (WSKE). The southern edge is dominated by the corridor of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, linking the community of Earlston to the traveler stop at Breezewood in the southeast corner.

Mountainous ridges like Warrior Ridge and Tussey Mountain run parallel to the river's course, isolating small agricultural pockets and valleys. Evidence of local industry is found in several quarries and strip mines located on the higher elevations of Broad Top Mountain. Rural social life is anchored by family-named landmarks and country congregations such as Bethel Ch and Asbury Ch, while a railroad line marked abandoned near Cypher Station suggests the changing transportation patterns of the late 1960s.
