The population was 1,639 at the 2010 census.[3] HistoryThe Defibaugh Tavern, Bridge in Snake Spring Township, and Juniata Woolen Mill and Newry Manor are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4] GeographySnake Spring Township is located in east-central Bedford County, between the boroughs of Bedford (the county seat) and Everett. The townships borders follow mountain ridges on three sides: Tussey Mountain on the east, Evitts Mountain on the west, and a lower ridge connecting the two in the north. The Raystown Branch of the Juniata River flows west to east through the southern part of the township, cutting water gaps through Evitts Mountain (at The Narrows) and Tussey Mountain (at Mount Dallas). The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-70 and I-76) and the older Lincoln Highway (US-30) follow the river and pass through the water gaps. According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of {{convert|68.0|sqkm|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|67.5|sqkm|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|0.5|sqkm|disp=flip}}, or 0.71%, is water.[3] Adjacent municipalities
GeologySnake Spring valley is an anticlinal valley, with Evitts Mountain and Tussey Mountain forming the limbs. The Silurian Tuscarora Formation, a hard sandstone, outcrops at the crests of the ridges and is stratigraphically higher and thus younger than the rest of the bedrock in the valley. The low knobs or "benches" on the northwest side of Tussey Mountain and the southeast side of Evitts Mountain are formed by the Ordovician Bald Eagle Formation, another sandstone, that is stratigraphically below the Tuscarora. The two mountains nearly converge at the north end of the township. The rock formations in the valley range from Ordovician shales and limestones to the Cambrian Warrior Formation, another sandstone. The limestones can form sinkholes.[5] {{see also|Geology of Bedford County, Pennsylvania}}RecreationPortions of the Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 73, Number 97, and Number 108 are located in the township.[6][7][8][9] Demographics{{US Census population|2010= 1639 |estyear=2016 |estimate=1742 |estref=[10] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[11] }} As of the census[12] of 2000, there were 1,482 people, 552 households, and 432 families residing in the township.
