1967 Map of Rainsburg

About this map

The Cumberland Valley and Bedford Valley corridors define this mid-century landscape, where the ridges of Harrison Mountain and Evitts Mountain hem in long-established mountain settlements. Near the northern edge, the renowned mineral waters at Bedford Springs are highlighted by labels for Magnesium Spring and Crystal Spring, reflecting the area's legacy as a 19th-century resort destination. Further south, the borough of Rainsburg sits at a junction of rural routes, surrounded by family-centered landmarks like Yeager Ch and Beegleton. The presence of the Penn Central line and several named gravel pits suggests a local economy tied to the land and transport, while labels like Burning Bush and the County Home provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local history in these valley gaps.
