About this map

The meandering Raystown Branch Juniata River dominates this portion of Bedford County, carving deep loops around landmarks like Hogback and Ritchey Knob. This landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Tussey Mountain and Warrior Ridge, creating the distinct corridor of Snake Spring Valley. Settlement is concentrated in the borough of Everett, where the Everett Cemetery and Everett-Southern High School serve as local anchors alongside the Rivers Bend Country Club.

Industrial activity and transit are central to the area's development, evidenced by Strip Mines on the slopes of Broad Top Mountain and several Quarry sites near Tatesville. The map captures a transition in regional transportation, showing the Penn Central rail lines and the path of the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Breezewood. Small rural communities and family landmarks, such as Cypher Station, Pipers, and Ritchey Bridge, provide granular detail for genealogists and local historians.
