About this map

The winding Raystown Branch Juniata River dominates the landscape of Bedford County on this 1968 survey, carving deep meanders past Ritchey Knob and the Hogback. The river's path dictates the transport and settlement patterns of the era, from the old river crossings like Burket Bridge and a Covered Bridge near Yellow Creek, to the industrial presence of the Penn Central rail line.

Community life is anchored in the southwestern corner at Everett and Earlston, while the rest of the terrain is dotted with rural landmarks like Bethel Ch and Providence Union Ch. Industry and recreation appear side-by-side, with Strip Mines on the eastern ridges above the Sherman Valley and the Rivers Bend Country Club closer to town. The inclusion of Everett-Southern High Sch and the Radio Station (WSKE) provides a clear look at local infrastructure in the late 1960s.
