About this map

Wills Mtn and Buffalo Mtn define the corrugated topography of this central Pennsylvania landscape, where narrow valleys dictate the paths of early roads and small settlements. The area is marked by a series of distinct springs and water bodies, including White Sulphur Springs, Crystal Spring, and Magnesium Spring, which long shaped the local economy and character of places like Bedford Springs and Sulphur Springs.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the various burial grounds and small communities recorded here. From the Major John Cessna Burial Site near the northern border to the Bedford County Home - Alms House Cem and Woods Church Cem further south, the map preserves the location of family and institutional markers. The village of Rainsburg serves as a southern hub, connected to outlying hamlets like Beegleton and Burning Bush by a network of rural routes such as Bedford Valley Rd.
