1961 Map of Mc Veytown

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds including Hartzler Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem near the northern settlements. The landscape transitions from the concentrated activity in the river valley to the expansive wooded reaches of the Licking Creek State Forest and Tuscarora State Forest. Remote outposts and geographic landmarks such as Peru Mills, Krause, and the intriguing Beggars Row suggest a history of isolated timber or milling operations tucked into the gaps of the Tuscarora Mountain range.
