2016 Map of Deavertown

About this map

Crooksville and its northern neighborhoods of Flatiron and Stringtown anchor this detailed study of the Perry and Morgan county line. The landscape is defined by the narrow valleys of Moxahala Creek and Sunday Creek, which carved the routes for historic settlements like McLuney and Misco. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, from family plots like the McCaslin Family Cemetery to established church sites like Zion Cemetery and the Presbyterian Cemetery near Oakfield. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the protected lands of the Wayne National Forest, encompassing the former mining community of San Toy and the high point at Alabama Hill. This geography reflects a transition from the industrial clay and coal legacy of the north to the reforested ridges of the south.
