2023 Map of Everett West

About this map

Evitts Mountain and Tussey Mountain define the high-relief landscape of this Bedford County region, where the Raystown Branch Juniata River carves a path through the southern valley. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations and watercourses, with concentrations at Everett and Chalybeate, the latter known for its historical Chalybeate Spring. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and church burial grounds such as the Reighard Farm Cem, Hershberger Cem, and the Smouse Farm Family Cem. Rural life is anchored by traditional landmarks like the Messiah Lutheran Church and the Albright Church, while smaller hamlets like Imlertown and Lutzville occupy the gaps between the ridges. The complex drainage network of Dunning Creek and Snake Spring Valley Run illustrates the hydraulic geography that shaped the area's development.
