About this map

Cuppett's Covered Bridge and other historic river crossings anchor this study of the Bedford County landscape. The area is defined by the winding course of Dunning Creek and the Raystown Branch Juniata River, where traditional engineering is preserved in the form of the Colvin Covered Bridge and Turner's Covered Bridge. These structures provide a tangible link to the transport network of earlier generations, connecting small settlements like New Paris and Schellsburg.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by Shawnee State Park and Shawnee Lake, a major hydrologic feature fed by the Shawnee Branch. The surrounding terrain transitions from the valley floors into named hollows and ridges, such as Negro Hollow and the slopes along Shaffer Mountain Rd. From the hamlet of Daley in the west to the crossroads at New Buena Vista, the map documents a rural Pennsylvania landscape where modern recreation and historic infrastructure coexist.
