1961 Map of Allensville

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Wayne National Forest land dominates this rugged Vinton County landscape, where deep hollows like Bray Hollow and high ridges such as Locust Grove Ridge define the topography. The map illustrates a rural area characterized by small church-centered communities and family cemeteries scattered along the winding drainages of Salt Creek and Middle Fork. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the village of Allensville serves as a local hub near Riley Run, while further north, the community of Royal is situated along the forest boundary. Cultural landmarks include several country chapels, such as Walnut Grove Ch and Otterbein Chapel, alongside a notable Covered Bridge on the Salt Creek tributary. The terrain is marked by extractive industries, with numerous Gas Wells and active Strip Mines appearing throughout the forest and private land holdings, particularly in the vicinity of Elk Ridge.
