1968 Map of Everett West

About this map

Dunning Mountain and Evitts Mountain frame the agricultural and transport corridors of central Bedford County in this late 1960s study, with revisions through the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the tight passage at The Narrows, where the Raystown Branch Juniata River cuts through the ridges alongside the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Penn Central railroad. This map captures the region's transition, showing the expansion of settlements like Chalybeate and Penn Wood near the county seat, while maintaining the rural character of valley communities such as Imlertown and Lutzville. Local landmarks including Memorial Hospital and various rural sanctuaries like Messiah Ch provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The juxtaposition of heavy infrastructure, like the sprawling turnpike, against the protected terrain of State Game Lands No 73 highlights the balance of industry and conservation in the Pennsylvania ridge-and-valley province.
