2011 Map of Allensville

About this map

Allensville and its surrounding townships in Vinton County are defined by a network of rural roads and cemeteries that trace the region's early settlement patterns. Along the Middle Fork Salt Creek, the Mount Olive Road Covered Bridge stands as a significant landmark of local engineering, situated near Mount Olive Cemetery. Small hubs like Royal and Stella are connected by winding routes such as Snowdrift RD and Siverly Creek RD, which follow the natural contours of Locust Grove Ridge and Garrett Ridge. This landscape is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Spunk Cemetery, Otterbein Cemetery, and Pawpaw Cemetery, offering researchers a detailed look at the scattered hamlets that developed along the creek valleys of Pretty Run and Puncheon Fork.
