1960 Map of Mc Coysville

About this map

Tuscarora Creek meanders through a valley of small agricultural settlements and wooded ridges in this 1960 survey of Juniata County. The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley system of the Appalachians, with Shade Mountain and Tuscarora Mountain framing the central lowlands. Local commerce and community life center on historic hubs like McCoysville and Honey Grove, while the rural character is underscored by numerous stream-fed valleys such as Smoky Run and Willow Run. Genealogists can identify significant local landmarks including Rock Ch, Farmers Grove Ch, and the McCoysville Cem. The map captures the region's topography before significant modern development, showing the transition from the protected woodlands of the Tuscarora State Forest to the managed lands of State Game Lands No 215 and State Game Lands No 88.
