About this map

The Raystown Branch Juniata River carves a significant path through this part of Bedford County, creating a valley floor where many of the area's primary settlements and transportation routes concentrate. The town of Bedford occupies the southwest corner, situated where Shober Run meets the river. Moving east, the landscape transitions through small communities like Lutzville, Ashcom, and Mount Dallas before reaching the edge of Everett.

High ridges such as Evitts Mtn and Tussey Mountain frame the fertile lowlands, which are dotted with numerous small family and church burial grounds. Notable sites for local history researchers include the Old Saint Thomas the Apostle Cem near the river and the Saint James Lutheran Cem further north. Geologic features like Chalybeate Spring and Bubbling Spring highlight the region's unique hydrology, which also supports various drainage systems like Dunning Creek and the Snake Spring Valley Run.
