2013 Map of Allensville

About this map

Allensville and the winding waters of Middle Fork Salt Cr anchor this section of Vinton County, where the landscape is defined by the deep reaches of the Wayne National Forest. The map documents a rural Ohio topography of narrow hollows and steep ridges, including Garrett Ridge and Locust Grove Ridge. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Chestnut Grove Cem, Otterbein Cem, and Wolf Cem, provides significant data for genealogical research. One of the most distinctive landmarks is the Mount Olive Road Covered Bridge, situated near Mt Olive Cem. The map traces the small, dispersed settlements of Stella, Royal, and Siverly, connected by a network of rural routes like Siverly Creek Rd and Pretty Run Rd. These small hubs highlight the persistent rural character of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
