1992 Map of Allensville

About this map

Allensville and the winding valleys of the Wayne National Forest define this landscape on the Hocking and Vinton County line. The settlement pattern is largely dictated by the complex drainage of the Middle Fork and Salt Creek, with small communities like Stella and Royal situated along the narrow valley floors. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural society through its high density of family and community landmarks, particularly the string of cemeteries such as Bell Cem, Garrett Cem, and Wolf Cem that follow the ridgelines and hollows.
