1961 Map of Deavertown
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Wayne National Forest and Harrison State Forest dominate this early 1960s landscape, where small coal-era settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered among the steep ridges of the Black Fork and Moxahala Creek valleys. The map documents a transition in land use, showing numerous Strip Mines alongside rural institutions like Bearfield Sch and Iliff Ch. Industrial footprints are visible in the rail infrastructure, with the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central Railroad threading through the terrain to serve mining hamlets such as Misco, Sayre, and the now-quiet San Toy. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burials, including McLuney Cem, Mocassin Cem, and Bearfield Cem, which mark the settlement history of townships like Bearfield and Wayne.
