2016 Map of Schellsburg

About this map

The Raystown Branch Juniata River winds through the southern portion of this Bedford County landscape, a region defined by its traditional architecture and quiet settlements. Several well-preserved crossings are documented here, including the Colvin Covered Bridge and Cuppett's Covered Bridge, which highlight the area's historical engineering. The township layout connects established centers like Schellsburg and New Paris with smaller hamlets such as Helixville and New Buena Vista. This 2016 survey illustrates a community deeply rooted in its local heritage, with several burial grounds such as the New Paris Community Cem and the Hull Baptist Cem positioned near their respective churches. The presence of Shawnee Lake provides a central water feature amidst a complex drainage network that includes Dunning Cr and Burns Cr.
