About this map

The ridge-and-valley terrain of Bedford County is defined here by the parallel alignments of Wills Mountain, Harrison Mountain, and Bedford Mountain. Within the sheltered Cumberland Valley, the settlement of Burning Bush and several small rural congregations, including Bedford Valley Ch and Cove Ch, reveal the 1960s agricultural and community footprint. This landscape is also notable for its mineral water sources, with Magnesium Spring, Crystal Spring, and Sulphur Springs located along the mountain flanks.

Local industry is represented by scattered infrastructure such as a Compressor Sta and a Gaging Sta on Buffalo Run. To the east, the borough of Rainsburg and the hamlet of Charlesville anchor the residential landscape alongside the Township Sch. The presence of Buchanan State Forest and State Game Lands No 48 indicates a region dedicated to conservation and forestry among these significant Appalachian folds.
