1961 Map of Allensville

About this map

The rugged hill country of Vinton and Hocking counties comes to life in this early 1960s study, where the Wayne National Forest boundary snakes through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and narrow hollows. Small rural communities like Allensville and Royal anchor the local road network, while the presence of a Covered Bridge on the Middle Fork Salt Creek speaks to an era of traditional infrastructure still in use during the mid-century.
