1968 Map of New Enterprise

About this map

Morrison Cove serves as the agricultural heart of this Bedford County landscape, bordered by the long ridges of Dunning Mountain and Tussey Mountain. In the late 1960s, these fertile valley floor lands were anchored by the crossroads of New Enterprise and Loysburg, where Yellow Creek winds through the gap. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, from St Johns Ch near Potter Creek Spring to Koontz Ch in the south. Several small quarries and a Gravel Pit indicate the local extractive industry that complemented the region's farming. In the north, State Game Lands No 41 covers the highland terrain, while the valley below contains numerous community burial grounds like Barley Cem and Hetrick Cem, providing essential details for genealogical research in South Woodbury and Bloomfield.
