About this map

The Raystown Branch Junia Ta River carves a dramatic, winding path through this portion of Bedford County, creating sharp bends such as the Hogback ridge. This landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Tussey Mountain and Warrior Ridge, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting through the southern corridor near Everett and Breezewood. The map illustrates a rural society organized around small crossroads like Tatesville and Cypher, where a dismantled Cypher Station hints at former rail connections.

Local history is preserved in the location of several traditional spans, including a Covered Bridge over Yellow Creek and the Ritchey Bridge. For genealogists, the map identifies specific landmarks like Everett Cemetery and the Everett-Southern High Sch, alongside small country congregations such as Bethel Ch and Asbury Ch. The transition from valley agriculture to industrial activity is visible in the various Quarry and Strip Mines scattered along the mountain slopes.
