1961 Map of Allensville

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates this topographic view of southern Ohio, where the deeply dissected topography of the Allegheny Plateau creates a labyrinth of narrow hollows and high ridges. The village of Allensville sits at the junction of Middle Fork Salt Creek and Riley Run, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by small family cemeteries and country churches. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites such as Stella Cem and Centenary Cem tucked away on timbered slopes. Evidence of the region’s extractive economy is visible through various Strip Mine operations and scattered oil and gas wells. Significant local landmarks include a Covered Bridge spanning the water near Mt Olive Ch, illustrating the persistence of older infrastructure in this corner of Vinton County during the early 1960s.
